Sad news, I never served with Howie, but I knew the name from around the traps.

Here are a couple of photos I found of Howie on the FB page.

Howie's Funeral went a OK today, good crowd to give him a send off

Approximately 30 to 40 Ex Stokers did the right thing

Did not attend the Wake after the service as I had 500km home trip in front of me
