He opened and operated Thiensville TV until his retirement at which time he and Beverly moved to Phoenix, Arizona. He worked for a neighbor in the HVAC business in Arizona to keep himself busy and out of Beverly's hair.
John enjoyed bird and deer hunting and especially coho fishing on Lake Michigan out of Port Washington.
