Following the war he married and settled in Glasgow. De Mille had a successful business career in housewares manufacturing. He and his wife Ailsa Ogilvie had a daughter Christina and two sons Andy and Peter. In 1986, at the age of 75, he attended the centennial event at the Vancouver Rowing Club, where he stepped back into a double for a row with club captain Bruce Trewin. He died in Thorpness, Suffolk, in 1995.[1]
