They married in 1950 in Mobile, Alabama, and lived all over the United States until 1967 when he retired from service and they returned to live in Denver. Jane has seven children: Michael Sharon, Ellen, Patricia, Sam Jr., John, Paula and Christopher. She has eight grandchildren: Jennifer, Rebeca, Erica, Richard, Madeline, Dante, Jacqueline and Devin.
