The Oratory School Magazine (2006; issue #166) noted that he "was largely responsible for creating a very special family atmosphere, one which is still warmly remembered by former pupils to the present day". Some remember him less warmly: I always wondered what happened to him. Family He married Joan Turnbull (died 1984) in the 1950s. They had three sons: Simon, Andrew and Peter. Their marriage was dissolved in 1983.
