      <title>In Loving Memory of Mark Jarvis: A Tribute to a Beloved Umpire, Coach, and Friend</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;We are very sad to have received the tragic news of the sudden, unexpected death of Mark Jarvis. Mark is known to some of us as a Level 3 umpire and coach, friend, ex RAF and keen fisherman! From during his days in the RAF until present day he has umpired hockey at the highest level and coached many budding new umpires, often travelling around the world giving many hours to a sport he loved. He and his wife, Karen, helped us celebrate our recent 50 th anniversary where he talked enthusiastically about providing coaching for our own umpires. Karen has previously been a member of the club, playing for several years for the ladies’ section; she was captain of our Ladies 2XI before moving away with Mark due to his RAF posting in Oxfordshire. She later returned to playing for a while after they moved back to the area when Mark retired from the RAF.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We would like to send heartfelt condolences to Karen and their daughter, Hannah. Mark was the most kind, thoughtful, caring person who will be greatly missed by all who knew him.&lt;/p&gt;
