Robert Offord became ill in January 2009 and sadly lost his fight for life in march 2009 it was a tragic shock for all that knew and loved him.
He was a proud father to Millie aged 8 and Charlie just aged 1 and was the other half to Stephanie.
Robert was an only child to Ann and Ron and they raised him to be a great and loving person, He also had Grandparents Joyce and Den and an Aunt called Jan who he loved all very much and who in turn loved him.
From a young age he went in to printing and stayed at the same firm for 15 years he was their no1 man and they often called him "THE MASTER" he always put 100% in to everything he did in life and will be greatly missed by everyone that knew him.
Robert loved his sports, mainly watching them on T.V but he did like to play the odd game of golf and went on a few society days with the lads, he was also a massive West Ham fan and had been since they won the cup in 1980.
Robert will always be in the minds and hearts of everyone he once knew and as the saying goes he will be "Gone but not forgotten"

merry Christmas Bob xxx
Another Christmas has been and gone without you but you were forever on my mind. I decided to sit up till nearly 4am Xmas night as the telly and the comp stop me thinking about the sad thoughts I normally get when I go to bed on a night that should be special to us all then when I did go to bed I had another dream about you, I've ob
Nay ever had 3or 4 but their always the same but in different places, you always tell me the same thing and you always look so happy and when I look in your eyes I can see all the love you have in them, maybe you just came to tell me you thought I did a good job at getting the kids what they wanted? But you told me everything was going to be ok and that your here like you do in every other dream I've ever had of you I just wish you was really here because we all miss you so much.
Merry Christmas Bob I love you so much and always will xxx
Charlie's 1st school nativity
Charlie had his 1st real nativity at school this morning, i think he was a horse or a donkey but he recons he was a sheep, they did a play about Marys knitting and they had to sing about 5 songs and do some actions to the songs, charlie managed about 4 words in each song and a couple of actions I'm sure he would of done more but he was to busy yawning and picking his nose, i got a few picture and will upload some on here once i get them on my computer, It was also Millies choir tonight and that was really good, well the songs were as i couldn't really hear what they were saying inbetween the songs coz there was to much noise going on around me but im sure you remember what that was like with all the times we went to see Millie perform together now all they have is their class parties tomorrow and thursday and their school disco which Charlie is aloud to go to so im sure he will enjoy that. Love you Bob xxx
Your 40th Birthday
I can't believe that it was 40 years ago that you came into the world. You weren't due until 25th January and Dad and I always said you didn't want to miss out of any christmas presents. Nobody realised then that your time with us would be short and we would have to say goodbye to you. There were times when you drove me crazy but I never stopped loving you for a minute. Your birthday card is on the mantlepiece and there will be one every year until I can join you. I miss you so much. I could not have wished for a better son. You're always in my thoughts and heart.
Love you big much up to the sky.

Your Birthday
We have got you a lovely balloon - Ray had it specially done for you - it is in your memory corner with your picture and some little gifts. Tomorrow we will let it go up into the sky for you. Every day gets harder thinking about what we have all lost but I cling to the hope that I will see you again one day. I am sending you a big hug and a hundred kisses on your beautiful face. Sending you all our love as always. Jan & Ray & Nan xxxxxxxxx
Happy 40th
Today should be a day of celebration even more so coz its your 40th, but now all i seem to do is dread this day coz it reminds me of what i've lost at a time we should be happy,I look back at old birthdays weve celebrated and the one that sets in my mind more than others is the birthday of yours we spent in America, we had so much fun and every second of that holiday was special (my best holiday ever) but on days like today i get so upset just thinking of it and it shouldn't be like that, Today i have decided to take the kids out for the day, I'm hoping it will make things easier to deal with if i have something else to focus on but you will always be in my heart and thoughts, I love you Bob, always have always will, Happy 40th xxx

I spoke to your mum yesterday and she read out a letter she received and its made me so angry, i've found that last few weeks really difficult and i'm now back to crying myself to sleep every night and since hearing the new news everythings just running through my head 24/7 and i can't even concentrate on day to day things, I wanna go to that hospital and just burn it to the ground for what they did to you, they let you down in the worst possible way and you payed with your life and were all paying with the pain we all feel since loosing you, i just wish they had listened then you would still be here now where you belong, i love you so much Bob and miss you more and more everyday, it hurts so much not having you here and knowing you didn't have to go if someone had only done their job properly xxxxxxxxxxxxx
Today is your little boy's first day at school. You should have been there with Steph holding his hand as he went through the school gate. I'm sure you were watching over him and that litle breeze on his cheek was a kiss from you.
We all miss you and love you.
Love you big much up to the sky.
