After honorable discharge from the Air Force, he worked in law enforcement. Myrl was united in marriage to Suzanne Leslie Edwards on June 24, 1978, in San Jose, California. They established their home in Fremont, California where Myrl managed a large aftermarket auto parts warehouse that supplied inventory to stores throughout California. Myrl loved hunting, fishing, photography and motorcycle riding. His collection of fishing poles and hunting rifles reflect his range of enjoyment from deep sea fishing to high mountain hunting. His photographs captured family events, travels all over the US and around the world - plus some awesome shots of his professional motorcycle road-racing friends.
