Patrick Williams FRPSL 1930–2011

Those who knew Patrick will be unsurprised to learn that he had foreseen the eventual need for an accurate obituary and, with his characteristic desire for exactitude, in Patrick’s case a most admirable rather than pedantic quality, he left us with detailed information on which to draw for this small tribute.

“I find at some funerals that a homily is often given which contains ‘facts’ about the deceased which are fanciful or inaccurate as none of those involved knows better.”

Patrick Howard Williams was born in Oxton, Cheshire, on 25th August 1930. After boarding at the Old Hall Preparatory School in Wellington, Shropshire, Patrick attended Rugby School before being called for National Service in April 1949. He was posted to the Royal Army Service Corps in Aldershot and recognised as officer potential, receiving his commision and serving mainly in Taunton. Later Patrick joined the 102 Cheshire Regiment of the Territorial Army where he found the “purposeful camararderie” that became an “important part of my life”. He was awarded command of 543 (now 234) Squadron when only 28 and went on to become regimental second in command before retiring from military duties in 1967.

On his release from the army in 1950 Patrick took up his place at Exeter College, Oxford, already won, where he read Classics before changing to Jurisprudence “which was much more agreeable”. On his successful graduation he was rewarded by his father with an extended trip around Canada.

After a general grounding in insurance broking, working for various companies including Lloyds of London, Patrick joined the partnership H.B. Williams, Reeve & Co, founded in Liverpool by his grandfather Harry Ben Williams. However, “the business scene was beginning to change” and in 1964 the partnership became a subsidiary of L. Hammond & Co. Ltd.

By 1980 “I needed a respite from 25 years of responsibility which included some 25 visits to Peru where we had an important part of our marine business” and Patrick was approached to become Deputy Underwriter and Manager of the Odyssey Insurance Co, linked to Ocean Transport & Trading that ran the Blue Funnel Line. Here he worked happily for the next ten years with a further five as a consultant.

“My father was keen on travelling (it broadened the mind) and on stamp collecting and so encouraged me in both pursuits. On his death I decided to retain the collection he had built up since the 1930s and make it a hobby of my own.”

Patrick not only made philately a hobby but also an important part of his life, joining local and national study groups and becoming particularly known for his collections of Ireland and the North West Pacific Islands overprints of New Guinea. At the same time he formed or developed truly exceptional collections of most British Empire territories, which may now be found presented thoughout this catalogue.

Patrick was a good friend and generous adviser to professional philatelists, as well as many fellow collectors, and fully merited his election to Fellowship of the Royal Philatelic Society in 1988.
