It is with great sadness that we must report the death of John Lowery, former Chairman of the Durham Coast League, and a member of the Conference Executive Committee.
John had not been in the best of health for sometime, and died on the 8th of this month. The funeral will be held on Thursday 13th, at 10.00am at Sunderland Crematorium.
John Lowery was a widely known and respected figure in cricketing circles in the North East. An umpire for many years, and long serving Chairman of the Durham Coast League, he was also a valued member of the Conference Executive Committee, where his advice was always sound and much appreciated. I also counted John as a personal friend, when back in the 1970's he became Chairman of the North East branch of the Cricket Society, during my period as Secretary.
He will be very much missed by all his friends and colleagues.
