John and Beverly lived in their Shoreline home for over 60 years and raised their four children there. Beverly attended Shoreline Community College and took classes in Interior Design and Gemology. She was employed as a supervisor for General Telephone and together with her husband owned and operated Northwest Trailer Center in Shoreline and then in Lynnwood, Washington for years. After retirement they spent a number of years RVing with friends and spent winters in Mesa, Arizona.
