Wanting to keep the farm in the family, Jim was asked to come home and manage the farm, so to the farm they went.
In 1953 they moved to Reedsburg due to Jim's health problems.For 10 years, he was a fieldman for the Reedsburg Dairies.Their next venture was in 1963 when they purchased Reedsburg Floral.Working together for 20 years, they built a successful floral business.Jim later was a custodian at Sacred Heart Church and School and Pat worked at Lorraine's Gift Shop for four years.
Sacred Heart Church has been Pat's spiritual home.She attends daily mass, is a member of the Council of Catholic Women, the Catholic Daughters, and has helped with the Fall Festival.She also provides rides for friends to church.Jim and Pat donated the beautiful stain glass Ascension of Christ window when the church was built.
