They had three children: Modesto Orlando Tuzon (b. 1956), Denise Lane Tuzon (b. 1958 - d. 1959), and Rita Louise Tuzon (b. 1959). After settling in the Pajaro Valley, Tuzon farmed sugar pea fields on the Lazo family property and then transitioned to a job as a tractor driver for Sears Schumann Farms. Linda Ardell was a reading specialist at Hall School in Las Lomas where the library is now named in her honor. Music filled the Tuzon household.
