A keen cricket fan, he was a constant visitor at Grace Road where he is a director of the adjoining firm of hosiery manufacturers, Toller and Lankester Ltd. He has been a local magistrate and was decorated with the D.S.O for service in the 1914-1918 war. He also holds the Territorial decoration for service.
