He always exuded and old-world charm and genial friendliness as a person, and these qualities were allied to a devoted fondness for KC to which he gave his support all his life. He not only attended Old Canterburians meetings at the school but took a very active part in the Club’s affairs, serving on the Committee for many years.
In 1956-1958 he became President when in the Headmaster’s words, he showed a sense of pastoral responsibility and made invaluable contacts that involved considerable travelling round the UK. His steady loving support of all the school did, helped at various crises.
