After the war, John decided not to return to Poland but joined the Second Polish Corps stationed in Italy. He later immigrated to Britain with other members of the Corps in 1946.
John attended the University of London and later met and married his wife, Nancy, a Canadian. John and Nancy immigrated to Canada in 1953 where three of their six children were born.
In 1960, John and Nancy relocated to the United States and moved to Westport in 1962. John worked as a chemical engineer/economist for a number of firms in New York and the World Bank in Washington, D.C.
As a result of his work, John and Nancy traveled extensively throughout the world. After retiring from the World Bank, John was a board member of the Canada Newfoundland Labrador Offshore Petroleum Board.
Along with his wife, he continued to travel in his retirement often back to Warsaw, Poland. When not traveling, he enjoyed spending time with his children and grandchildren.
