After being discharged he lived in Calgary, then Lethbridge and eventually moved to Taber in 1948. John was very good with his hands and was very artistic, so he started a sign painting business which he owned and operated for fifty years. John and Kay liked to travel and went to different destinations in the United States and Canada. He was also a member of the Taber Legion for sixty three years. John’s step children, grandchildren and great grandchildren were his pride and joy. He never forgot a birthday and was always happy to see them.
