After his time in the Navy, while Blain worked for the Bureau of Reclamation, the family moved to several different locations. In 1984 he moved into a wonderful neighborhood in Orem, Utah where he retired in 1990 and lived for the rest of his life.
Blain loved sitting on the front porch keeping an eye on the neighborhood. He enjoyed spending time visiting with family and friends, telling stories and talking about "God's country" Southern Utah. He loved it when the neighborhood kids would come and visit him and he always had a little treat (candy) for them. He loved watching John Wayne movies and western TV shows, with Gunsmoke being one of his favorites.
He also loved to watch football and golf.
