Jack appeared in the very first episode of Coronation Street, and his final appearance was on 25th January 1984. The previous year he had been made a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE). Jack Howarth lived for many years at Overlea Avenue in Deganwy and died in Llandudno General Hospital on the evening of 31st March, 1984, aged 88, with his wife and son John at his bedside. He was cremated six days later at Colwyn Bay. A man with a quiet but cutting wit, Jack Rosenthal recalled a comment made after the read-through of his very first script for the programme (Episode 30 (27th March 1961)) when a member of the production team wondered if it was too lengthy and Howarth commented that it was thirty minutes too long for him. John Finch also recalled meeting Howarth in the foyer of Granada when Howarth had received and read one of his scripts and icily told him he was "going home to learn my line".
