He was a former Tyringham School Committee member, a town assessor, a 50-year member and past Master of the Lee Grange, a member of the Evening Star Lodge of Lee, the Ayrshire Breeders Association, the American Jersey Cattle Club, Massachusetts Farm Bureau and the Union Church in Tyringham.

He was an avid horseman and showman.
