John emigrated to the UK before World War II, where he played cricket with Surrey, England. He returned to Ireland and lived in Wicklow from 1942 where he set up his business in County Wicklow, married Lil Doyle, owner of the Lil Doyle landmark pub in Barndarrig, County Wicklow, and lived until his death in 1972. He was committed to the Wicklow County GAA in trying to promote locally the standard of hurling and was very active in the campaign for the abolition of The Ban on GAA players playing non-Gaelic sports, a rule that remained in force until overturned in 1971. For many years he was chairman of the Wicklow County Hurling Board. He was also a member of the World Ploughing Association. (en)
