Howard and I met often these last few years at St Pauls London.
We would chat about all sorts of things and Hi-fi, have coffee and nice Lemon Cake.
Howard died this week he fell and bashed his head which after many a time on treatment for spinal cancel broke is neck. He did not die immediately but in hospital , holding his wife hand and not being able to move.
How we met.
In the late 1970's Howard had a lovely Hi-fi shop in Camden and was selling lovely kit with superb listing room.
I had just started Magnum (A.C.Magnum Ltd) named after myself and Anthony Relph of ex Relph and Gandy (REGA).
Howard was I am now aware had a fantastic subtle sense of humour and was Jack Blunt I love that about him.
So of I go for the first demo to a Hi-fi shop, there was also another company doing demos you may have heard of it NVA ( RIP Richard Dunn). Unfortunately Howard being blunt preferred the Magnum and Richard stormed of in a huff. My first meeting with Richard but not my last.
My next adventure was with Inca Tech and guess what the day I came to demo out poor Richard was there as soon as he saw me he went into a fit, but Howard calm the atmosphere down for a little while. We listen to the NVA kit and I thought it was nice but not to my bass freaked ears.
And I am sorry to Richard stormed out again after Howard preferred yet again my design.
designs. Whoops again in Richards bad book and it would no be the last. (TQ wars)
12yrs ago Dave (UM) Howard and Alan (ABC) and family's came to Maria and I,s wedding.
Aland being Alan had bright red shoes. (nutter) Dave and Sam were great company and Howard and his lovely new wife kept me under control and to stop panic making me leg it.
Howard by now owned and published Hi-fi Answers ( I hope you have seen it) a web based magazine (Shame that Dave does not do one).
He gave EWA some nice and frank reviews .
I will miss him a lot. RIP Mr Howard Popeck.
He will be cremated near his home at Burgeshill .
His wife has told me also that in his last requests he want to sale on his Hi-fi more later on that.
More funny stories later about a Rolls Royce and a 2CV6/Turbo
