In Loving Memory of Bob Williams

Please note that Star will be closed today as we attend the funeral of our dear friend, Bob Williams.

Bob was an incredible person who supported Star from the very beginning. He became much more than a supporter – he became family. His dedication, encouragement, and belief in us helped shape Star into what it is today, and for that we will always be grateful.

Today, we take the time to reflect on the many memories we shared and remember Bob for the wonderful person he was. His kindness, generosity, and friendship touched so many lives and his legacy will continue to live on through the people and community he helped build.

Our thoughts are with Bob’s family and loved ones today.

Rest in peace, Bob. You will be greatly missed and never forgotten. ❤️

💔 In Loving Memory of Bob Williams 💔

It is with great sadness that we share the passing of Bob Williams, who peacefully passed away in his sleep on Tuesday 5th May.

We have truly lost a good one.

Within the eight years that STAR (Stand Together and Recover) has been going, it would not have come as far as it has without this absolute gentleman. Bob was not only an incredible supporter of STAR, but he also became a valuable friend to many, and like a father figure to Jessica.

His kindness, loyalty, support and presence touched so many lives and he will be deeply missed by everyone who knew him.

For anyone wishing to attend, Bob’s funeral service will take place at Carlton Cemetery Chapel on Monday 1st June at 12:30pm, followed by interment. With this star will be closed on 1st of June for the members and staff to attend.

Bob requested that any donations in his memory go to STAR (Stand Together and Recover), either directly or via the following link:

Please keep Bob’s family, friends and loved ones in your thoughts during this incredibly difficult time. ❤️
