Henry Frank Whiston married Mary Xenos in 1960. They had two daughters, Barbara Eleanor and Lorraine Susan. He attended the High School of Montreal. During his school years, he worked part-time at the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. He was then hired full-time as a producer and worked at CBC until he retired in 1976.
