If you are attending this funeral and would like to find out more about what we do and what you might experience our ‘About Us’ page is a great place to start.
Howard, anyone that came into contact with you will never forget your jokes. They were so awful they were funny. You were always the same. Such a lovely chap. A very good DJ. You were DJ at our daughter’s wedding and got people up and dancing. Goodnight Howie, RIP , reunited with your Pauline . Jan & Keith xx
We have great childhood memories of Howard when they lived in Dunstable Road Luton he was always telling jokes and pulling your leg with his wry sense of humour.
May you be at peace now dear Cousin and joking with the Angels and Family that are with you.

Howard. I remember the night I was duty patrol Sgt on nights. You were due to finish at 2.00am. It was the time when your beloved partner lived in Lea End Lane. I was double crewed and just happened to see your patrol car on the drive way in Lea End Lane. I called you on the radio to seek your location for a meet up. You said you were at some location which was not Lea End lane. You then came out and saw me. Your face was a picture. RIP. Your jokes have been recycled by me many times.
Great terrible jokes and a gentleman. The disco will no doubt continue above.
RIP Howard, you left a memory on many people and a mark in policing circles that will be remembered for generations. It was not just what you did but the way in which you did it.
