He married Lyla Daphne Calhoun (1888–1957), at the Cairns Memorial Presbyterian Church, in Melbourne, on 19 June 1915.

He was a brilliant high mark and possessed fine anticipation, great style, and plenty of dash.

After seven years out of VFL circles, he made a brief comeback to play the final two matches of 1921, at the age of 36.

[citation needed] He won Geelong's Best and Fairest award four times: 1910, 1911, 1912 and 1914.
