    Lovell retired from the Navy and the space program on March 1, 1973, and went to
    work at the Bay-Houston Towing Company in Houston, Texas,[105] taking on the role
    of CEO in 1975. He became president of Fisk Telephone Systems in 1977,[106] and
    later worked for Centel Corporation in Chicago, retiring as an executive vice
    president on January 1, 1991.[107] Lovell was a recipient of the Distinguished
    Eagle Scout Award.[108][109] He was also recognized by the Boy Scouts of America
    with their Silver Buffalo Award.[110]

    Lovell served on the board of directors for several organizations, including


    Federal Signal Corporation in Chicago from 1984 to 2003, the Astronautics
    Corporation of America in his hometown of Milwaukee from 1990 to 1999, and Centel
    from 1987 to 1991.[104][111][112][113][114][115]

    In 1999, the Lovell family opened a restaurant in Lake Forest, Illinois, "Lovell's
    of Lake Forest". The restaurant displayed memorabilia from Lovell's time with NASA
    and the filming of Apollo 13. The restaurant was sold to son and executive chef
    James ("Jay") in 2006.[116] The restaurant was put on the market for sale in
    February 2014,[117] and it closed in April 2015, the property being auctioned the
    same month.[118][119]
