In his youth he played football for St Dennis and played Chess for the County. He had a long connection with the Church, singing in the choir and the local Labour Party where he was Chairman. He served on the Parish Council as Chairman, the committee of the Cooperative Society and was a prime mover in obtaining land for St Dennis playing field.
