Besides "Ham's" contributions to OACS sports as a coach, he held leadership positions in Section V football during the mid 1960s before immersing himself in officiating. He was president of the Rochester chapter of Certified Football Officials and in 1976 won the chapter's Official of the Year award. The Genesee-Orleans League named a sportsmanship award after him in 1985. Ham also was athletic director and professor of education at Genesee Community College, and earned two Distinguished Flying Crosses and four Air Medals while serving in the US Air Force.
