Patrick Jones (Paddy) (6th August 1944 – 24th April 2026)
We are sorry to announce the passing of Patrick Jones (Paddy) on 24th April 2026 in Lister Hospital, Stevenage.
Pat was born on 6th August 1944 in London and grew up in Holloway not far from the school.
He joined Holloway School in September 1955 and he was there until 1960. Soon after leaving school he joined the Merchant Navy for about three years. When he came back a friend suggested he joined the Old Camdenians football club and Pat played for them for a number of years. He continued playing football for the veteran’s side until he was 40+ years (Pat had a great rapport with the referees who would often ask for his autograph!!!)
As well as enjoying football he was a regular golfer and also played and toured with a group of friends from the school calling themselves “The Cowley Golf Society” .
Pat was always the life and soul of any party with his stories and jokes and he will be sorely missed by his close group of friends from the school.
His chatty nature helped with his working career in sales including Heinz and Bard medical equipment company which sometimes involved Pat attending operations!!
The funeral details are as follows:-
21st May at 1.30 pm at Wollensbrook Crematorium, Hoddesdon, EN119BN
After at The Galley Hall Pub, Hailey Lane, Hoddesdon.
Phil Cowley & Peter Sumpter
