He was then self employed as a Snap-on-Tool salesman. After selling his tool business he had a Shell Service Station in Glen Ellyn for about 20 years, when it became a 24/7 he decided to relocate to another service station in Itasca, where he also did on-call towing for the Itasca Police Department.
