After his discharge, he and Mae spent time in Oregon and Montana but returned to San Angelo to farm on the river. As the drought of the 1950's came, John and Mae moved to Alaska, where they spent 12 happy years. After securing a job with the FAA, John and Mae moved to California, Oklahoma, and returning to San Angelo to retire. 
Not wishing to sit on his hands, John involved himself with Masonic Lodge 570, Suez Shrine, and Commandery. John received the most joy from working with local children in getting them treatment in various Shrine Hospitals. Sometimes known as Handsome John, he never met a stranger and always offered a warm hand shake and a smile. 

The family wishes to thank the caring staff at Sagecrest Alzheimer's Care Center for their devotion during John's stay.

Later, she served many years as a caretaker for Judge Jared P.

Nannie was passionate in everything she did, especially in cheering for the Rangers, Cowboys, Spurs, and Thunder sports teams. Several of her great grandchildren attended Texas Tech University and Nannie also became an avid Red Raider fan.
