He was one of the founding members of the now-renamed Medical Association of Antigua & Barbuda Inc. in the 1950s and served as President for several years.

Governor General Sir Rodney Williams and Mrs. Williams, Prime Minister Gaston Browne and Maria, Police Commissioner Atlee Rodney, and other government ministers were present at the funeral.

Several medical practitioners also graced the funeral with their presence.
