From his earliest years he had a passion for cricket and became an enthusiastic, knowledgeable and intelligent follower of the game, at amateur, county and international level. In Udimore he generously provided the village club with a ground and pavilion. With the help of his second wife Jill (his first wife Vanda sadly died some ten years ago) he inspired the formation of several successful and much enjoyed cricket touring clubs.
