He then began a long 37-year career with TWA. He started as a ramp service agent and later rose to the position of station manager at LaGuardia Airport in New York. He went on to become the manager of Passenger Services at J.F.K. Airport, in N.Y. John was instrumental in the visit of Pope John XXIII to New York in 1979. He set up many of the coordination points at LaGuardia Airport. In 1987, he was the liaison from TWA to the Vatican for the visit of Pope John Paul II to the U.S.A. Upon retiring from TWA in 1990, John became the chief of protocol for the Port Authority of New York where he met with many dignitaries from around the world. He retired from that post in 1995 and came to Las Vegas with his wife, Helga.
