Obituaries

In this section, we have a selection of the Obituaries that we have received from our members.

N.B. - Would letter writers (like ALL contributers) please try to send text, as simple text files (*.txt); and graphics as simple JPEG files. The reason for this, is that (for uniformity) all the pages, on the site, should use the same formatting . Thus, items may need to have formatting changes, and we prefer to start with no formatting at all.

Dear Sir,

I am sorry to tell you of the death of my father in December last year, aged 95.

He was a pupil at Liverpool Collegiate in the 1930s before going to Oxford where he read PPE. He worked on Japanese code breaking at Bletchley Park and then became an academic teaching sociology at the LSE and then Professor ar Nottingham University.

I attach his TImes obituary to this email. He subscribed to the Collegiate TImes, the latest edition of which was posted to him, so would like to advise you of this. If you wish to print a brief account of his life in your next edition I would be happy to write it.

Regards - Russell Gould (Son)

Death of Randall Berry

I have been forwarded a copy of the COBA Summer news letter for 2020, which was addressed to my late father, Randall Berry, at his former address 3 Ivyhurst Close, Aigburth, Liverpool, L19 3PJ.

My Father was an ex student at The Collegiate and was very proud of his association with the school. I recall that he once told me that he attended at the same time as Leonard Rossiter, although he was more senior to my Father by quite a few years.

My Father was born on 13th August 1931 in Liverpool and passed away on the 9th February 2019 at The Royal Liverpool University Hospital.

I would be grateful if you would cancel any subscription he may have had for the magazine,

thanks and regards, Kenneth Randall Berry

Death of Donald Mackie

I have the sad duty of recording the death of Donald Mackie, without having any details about him. That is, apart, from the fact that he was a Member of COBA.

What we would appreciate, would be for any member(s) who knew Donald, to write in, to help us out with a few details, 'names & dates' - (especially covering his school career) to form the bare bones of some sort of an Obituary.

(23/8/2010) Death of Philip Percival (????-????)

Today, we received this message from Mrs. Fay Percival :-

My husband Phil sadly died 3 weeks ago from Motor Nueron Disease. He was diagnosed a year last May a devastating blow to us and our family.
Would you please pass this information on to your committee ? I’d especially like Li Ross to know as, I know he knew Phil from his playing days.
Thank you

Fay Percival

We are passing this (rather limited ) information on, in the hope that other members may be able to fill in some gaps, here and there. Possibly, some tales of football exploits may come to mind of ex-teamates.

Death of Ronnie Sharp

Ronnie Sharp was at the school from 1961 until until 1968 (not 100% sure when he left). I knew him from Primary School but he was in the year below me at the Collegiate. I believe he was in the “B” stream. A quiet lad, he became a Geologist and was living and working in Welkom, South Africa at the time of his passing. Ronnie wouldn’t hurt a fly and was definitely one of the “good guys”. It seems to be unclear what happened, but he passed away in September 2019.
