| Paul Jones RIP 21:38 - Dec 10 with 5815 views | builthjack |
A friend of mine, Paul Jones, died last week. In his early sixties.
From Crossgates, Llandrindod Wells, Paul had followed Swansea and Wales home and away for many many years, travelling to far flung places , and rarely missed a game.
He must have done at least 1500 Swans games, and around 200 Wales games.
A quiet man, a lot off here will know him.
A regular face at the Vetch, and sat in the East since moving to the Liberty.
He is one who would do your Hartlepool, Southend, etc away in midweek, and still be in work at 7.30am next morning.
RIP Paul. [Post edited 10 Dec 2019 21:42]

Was this a big guy with short dark hair and glasses? Stood above the entrance on the north bank back in the day? [Post edited 12 Dec 2019 7:51]

Paul will be cremated on Monday 23rd December, at Hereford Crematorium at 2.15pm.
No black clothes, no black ties. Anything Swansea City can be worn. The club are sending a Swansea City flag to go on the coffin. These are the wishes of Paul's closest, as that's what he wanted. If anyone can make it please feel,free to turn up.
As far as I am aware, his ashes will be scattered on the new memorial garden, which will be near the Ivor Allchurch statue by the stadium. Date to be announced later.
I have had lots of private messages, feel free to do that if any info is needed. | |

A quiet, unassuming guy, resting against a wall in the concourse of an away end across the country, not in the thick of things but away from it. Back in the day when you recognised every regular away Swans fan, an acknowledging nod, wink, word, would evolve into conversation. That was Paul. As Builth said, it could be Hartlepool, Southend, he'd be resting against that wall, having jumped in his car and driven to a game. A friendship would be made, and there'd be a warm wry smile awaiting the next time. Those who knew Paul, will know that wry smile. I don't think I can make Hereford Crem on 23rd December, 2:15, much as I'd love to be there. I'll be thinking of him though, as I've done since Builth posted.
Huge loss.
You Jack Bastard, Paul, mate.

Your post is so true, Builth.
I'm desperately trying to re-arrange Christmas family arrangements to be at the funeral in Hereford on Monday. | |
