Poems were written about him after his first mayoral role.[2]
He contested seats in state politics.[3]
He was involved in the process of establishing the War Memorial in Kings Park, and said of the establishment:
...not for the glorification of war, but in loving memory of men who paid the supreme sacrifice.
