The toast master shares a joke with Dee at our wedding

This memorial website was created in the memory of our loved one, Rob Williamson, 67, born on July 9, 1945 and passed away on January 29, 2013. We will remember him forever.

Please share your thoughts, photos and stories.

Rob was cared for in St. Johns Hospice, Wirral, by a wonderful team of dedicated nursing staff and volunteers.  He was extremely grateful for this and wanted his thanks shared.  

Should you wish to donate to the hospice, we have created a donation site on Just Giving, which you can find by clicking here.

Hi Rob. I always had lots to say to you, but we usually just ended up joking together, which was fine. After spending most of our younger years fighting/wrestling and running from Mum. (taking advantage of her TB by running upstairs, where she could not catch us! Little ba**ards!), we grew apart due to our age difference, I guess. Two years would have been OK, but three years was just too much, different groups of friends etc. Me working away and climbing at weekends. Later, we got together again and met up regularly with Dise and Kel for lunches. That would have carried on into our dotage, but fate intervened. Rest easy and help us stay safe.

Thinking of you is easy, I do it every day,
Missing you is heartache that never goes away.

Graham's doing your birthday BBQ on Saturday Rob, he's a chip off the old block having watched the master do it in all weathers!! xxx

Even though we celebrate,
We dearly miss our special mate.
On both landmark days and normal days,
We think of you in many ways.
We'll raise a glass and make a toast
To an absent friend who is missed the most!
Cheers Rob!

Rob,
Three years have passed since we said goodbye
They say time heals - but, they lie!
We'll never forget all those happy times-
good company, good food -very good beer
As they write on postcodes, we wish you were here!
With love Bill & Jackie xx

It would have been massive birthday celebrations today Rob, but sadly not to be. Your 60th would be a hard one to follow, everyone still talks about it but I know you would have come up trumps organizing something.

Another World Cup year and no doubt it would have been barbecue and footy for your birthday. Though if you'd drawn Brazil in the family Big Money sweepstake we'd never have heard the last of it! Thinking of you and the folks with fun and fondness. Lynne and Jason xxx

For your birthday last year I sponsored a giraffe in your name at Chester Zoo and this year it will be the flamingos. Lasting memories of our trips to the zoo. Missing you so much xx

Last week I was talking to Nicki. my next door neighbour and she told me when Adam, her 9 year old talented footballer son scores a goal he says it's for Rob and gives thumbs up. It's so touching to know Rob had such an impact on someone so young. (must have been the water fights or when the ball was accidently on purpose kicked over the fence so Rob would throw it back again!)
You keep on scoring Adam, maybe for England one day.

Rob, you always made an impact on family gatherings which sadly are not the same without you, we miss you so much. Jackie, Kay and Lynne have inherited your sense of fun and ingenuity and have devised a family keepsake in your memory in the form of an steam engine wine bottle holder (very apt) to be 'competed' for at family do's. Thanks girls, it means a lot x

In life but more so in business people are not always what they seem, Rob was a really good bloke with honest old fashioned values, although we only know him for a few years it was such a pleasure we will always remember.

I found bob to be a really interesting guy who always fought for what he felt was right. Always smiling and forever helpful. I saw bob as a father figure who will be missed by all at Ferno. I'm sure his infectious laugh will be spreading across the heavens.
Bye bye bob.

I had the pleasure of working with Bob and Denise for 3 years. Bob used to sit directly next to me so I had many a conversation with him about repairing toilets or plastering walls. Whilst working as a design engineer he would often give me great engineering advice and ideas which are still being used in ambulances today. 1 of 2

As a child I can remember waiting at the window for Rob & the family to arrive, knowing that whatever the occasion there would be laughter, presents and trickery on the way. Rob always had a beardy rub, raspberry or tickle ready to make me laugh and he truly made me feel special. Rob has been a "great" great uncle too as he used his magic touch with Steven, Helen & Simon. Miss you loads xx

For more than thirty years Rob has been a very dear and valued friend. He was such a genuine and likeable person, thoughtful, kind, ever helpful and full of fun! He was a great 'Team Leader' on the many holidays and outings we shared - we will miss him sooo much! His 'team' wiil soldier on, just as he would wish. We will think of Rob always, with warmth and with love. x

Rob was an unforgettable gentleman who was a pleasure to be with. He was cheerful,considerate,helpful,ingenious,skillful and loved innovative technology and his loft model railway typified his detailed imagination and great practical ability. Helen, Christopher and Kate have very fond memories of Rob. Love to Denise and family from Valerie,Brian,Helen,Christopher,Suzanne and Kate.

Our Happy Memory

February 25, 2013
by Nikki Thompson

From Bradley Thompson (age 11) & Adam Thompson (age 8) - (Next door neigbours )..


When we found out that Rob had died we were really sad.  We decided that we were going to have a Happy Memory to think of when we were missing him.


It was summer time and Rob was in his garden watering his flowers.  We decided to have a game of football in our garden.  Rob popped his head over and had a little chat with us (like he always did) and then went back to watering his flowers......a few minutes later water fired over the fence and hit us....that was it, football stopped and we got our hosepipe out and fired back at Rob....WWIII broke out in Millfield Close.  We were hosing Rob and throwing buckets of water over the fence.  Rob was firing his hose back at us.  In the end we were all soaked from head to toe, water was dripping off us all....it was a great water fight, a great day, a great memory for a GREAT neigbour and friend...xxxx
