Returning from his service in 1946, Neno went on to graduate from Kent State University earning B.S. of Business Administration degree where he was a member of the Theta Kappa Phi fraternity. Neno then began operating the family business, the West Side Gardens. In addition, Neno started Venetta Insurance and Venetta Tax Service in Warren from 1952 until his retirement in 2004.

In 1954, he married the love of his life, Helen Dager Venetta at St. Demetrios Greek Orthodox Church in Warren. Neno and Helen were founding and active members of St. Marks Syrian Orthodox Church of Liberty, Ohio and were active in their faith in the Warren and Youngstown communities. Neno and Helen enjoyed 57 years of marriage until her passing in 2011.

Neno was a long time member of the Amerital Club and Warren Equity Club, and enjoyed bowling, playing cards, listening to music, watching old westerns, and was an avid Cleveland Indians fan.
