A reason to celebrate…♥️
After an incredible 46 years with IBM, John is officially retiring.
John has been a part of the Victoria’s family for more than two decades. Over those years, we’ve had the privilege of getting to know not just John, but the beautiful relationship he shares with his wife, Ann.
Anyone who knows them knows that Ann is John’s whole world. He cares for her tenderly and meticulously — always making sure she has everything she needs, and always by her side.
Retirement means even more time together — painting nails by day and reading romance novels by night, heading to appointments at the clinic, enjoying quiet days together, and spending more time at one of Ann’s favorite places: Disney World, where the two of them will happily ride every ride from sun up until sun down.
And thankfully for us, retirement also means more time dining at another one of their favorite places — Victoria’s. ❤️
John, after 46 years at IBM and more than 20 years of letting us be a small part of your lives, we couldn’t be happier for you. Congratulations on retirement — here’s to more time with Ann, more Disney, more romance novels, more painted nails, and plenty more dinners with us.
