Howard was a player for many years and a faithful and loyal servant to Exmouth Cricket Club. He was subsequently honoured with Honorary Membership. Our thoughts are with Maggie and family at this time.

Fond memories of watching Howard keep wicket during the time he played alongside my late husband John. Aways a safe pair of hands. We also spent many evenings all together socially especially post matches. Howard was a gentleman in every sense of the word. From Lynda Corder
