Henry got ambitious and wanted to run his own restaurant. In April 1974 he moved with his young family to Wadena, Saskatchewan where he bought and operated the cafe called Dave’s Diner.

He retired in 1990 to Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. In 2013 he settled in Calgary, Alberta at Rocky Ridge Manor and remained there until his untimely death on January 18, 2024.
