Following playing days at Lewes he became a proficient umpire at Southern Counties level.  He was senior men's team manager for many seasons and also fixtures secretary and organised many other things associated with Sussex hockey.

He served as President of the Sussex County Hockey Association (Men's) for nine seasons from 1983/4 to 1991/2.

A funeral service was held on:
Monday 14 June 2010 - 2:30pm
