He earned many honours; he was made an Honorary Chief of the Four Bands – Chief Calf Child, he was the first person inducted into the Livestock Market Association Hall of Fame, (and is the reason that cattle are still sold by the pound and not kilograms), and for his participation as an athlete and builder, he was inducted into the Alberta Sports Hall of Fame as a Multisport Honoree in 1991.
