It was in a radio studio that he met a woman who changed his life, an Australian opera singer named Leah Frances Russell, who became his mentor and benefactor. Not only did she give him a place to sleep, but she introduced him to her daughter, Sheila, whom he eventually wed. Their marriage lasted 47 years, until she died in 1983. Mrs. Russell lived with them throughout the marriage, and the two women died within a month of each other.
