He worked at Ward's Appliances and Furniture on Wellington Avenue and was a volunteer fireman, living at Hall #1 for five years. He moved on to Woodward's furniture in Edmonton, and then to Simpsons-Sears as furniture department manager. He married Fay Hansen in 1958 at Carman United Church, and they had a son and a daughter. In 1967 they moved with Simpsons-Sears to Kitchener-Waterloo for three years and, in 1970, John was happily transferred to stores in the Vancouver area.
