- He retired to run a private paramedic service.
- In 1964 he invested all his money in, and directed, Legend of the Northwest (1978) (aka "Bearheart of the Great Northwest"), starring Fritz Feld, Marshall Reed and Anna Lee. It was never released and ruined him financially. It seemed to have finalized his breach with Hollywood and his first wife.
- Served in the US Army during World War II.
- A good friend of the Roy Rogers family. He first met Roy and Dale Evans at a charity luncheon in Beverly Hills, where they were the only people dressed in Western outfits. Cheryl Rogers-Barnett recalls that she and her friends "just adored him, and who wouldn't? He's a terrific actor but an even better human being".
- He played Hopalong Cassidy's sidekick Lucky Jenkins in 12 movies.
- [about Clayton Moore] We both signed with MGM. I came in on September 6th and he showed up on the 21st. I worked my way down from Metro to Republic--where he joined me.
- [on Clayton Moore] He didn't get rich being The Lone Ranger. His bosses weren't too sympathetic . . . and he made them a lot of money . . . and Clayton, well, Clayton worked awfully hard to take care of his family.
- [After Clayton Moore's death] I miss him. I sort of expected this and I didn't think I'd miss him so much, but I do. We were closer than most people.
- [in an interview with the Toronto Star in 1986] I loved to work, loved to act, but acting doesn't make for a secure, happy life. You may not work for six months, then you get three offers at the same time. You pick one and as sure as shootin', it's the wrong one!
