Built the house he lived in at 58 Emsbury Avenue, and also number 60 next door for his son Harold.

Gave a lot of money to Boscombe Hospital near Christchurch after his wife was treated there for a stomach tumor.

His wife was a happy and quiet woman. She had account number 3 at the Bournemouth Coop!
