During his 31 years' service, he had been the Head of Chemistry at the Duke of Gloucester School, Vice and Acting Principal. Later on, he was the Vice and Acting Principal at Eastleigh Secondary School. His affable nature and sympathetic attitude had endeared him to all.

"My father was a man with a GOLDEN HEART. He was a much disciplined man.

When you heard the word discipline you would only think of my father. He was a very honest man. He used to help students by paying their fees or give them money for their books or uniform. When he went to Zambia as a Head, he tutored his house servant to enable him to pass examinations without charge. But he never spoke or boasted about it. He distributed the "Prasad "of knowledge. I can never repay him but I follow his teachings".
