Upon discharge from the service, he worked for Kraft Foods and Food Enterprises until he moved to Rye, NH in 1953. In 1954, he became co-owner of Shyer's Lobster Pound in Salem. He moved to Derry, then in 1966 to Salem. He retired from the business in 1985 due to illness.
He was proud of his vegetable garden and the fact that he used no pesticides. He enjoyed sharing his bountiful harvest with friends. His interests were varied from Archeology to Egyptology and he liked to quote Shakespeare. He loved nature and animals and took great pleasure in watching the birds at the feeders. He was an avid freshwater fisherman, casting his line whenever he got a chance. Most recently, while being confined to an electric wheelchair, he took up candlepin and kingpin bowling. He loved anything connected with the Irish culture and could be heard singing Irish songs all during the year.
He liked to sit in his wheelchair in the driveway and wave to passerby's whom he dubbed "his public". He got immense joy from watching people drive by and having them smile, wave to him or in the case of his motorcycle "buddies" give him the thumbs up or have the truck drivers blow their horns at him. To all of you, please know your smile, wave, thumbs up or blowing your horn as you drove by, cheered him in his final months. We do not know who you are, nor your names, but from the bottom of our hearts we Thank You.
