After Mortimor married Lila, they lived in Stockton until 1960 when they moved to Yuba City. They then moved to Chico in 1980 and in 2004 moved to the Masonic Home in Union City, California. Mortimer didn't have a close relationship with his father as his parent's had divorced and he lived with his mother and her parents.After Mortimer was married and had a family, his father, Harold only came to visit once or twice a year until he retired from his job. Then he came to visit Mort and Lila every Sunday and spent the day with them. Sometimes he even came before they had gotten out of bed.

Fredrick Weihi was Mort's maternal grandfather. In Dec 1955, Fredrick was having a heart attack. The ambulance was called and unfortunately the River was flooding at the time in Yuba City. After picking up Fredrick, the ambulance was caught in the flooding waters and Fredrick died as a result. Fredrick had put a ladder up to the roof of the house a few days before his death for some anticipated work. As a result of the ladder being there, (someone ?) was able to climb up on the roof during the flood and spent a day or so there before being rescued.
