In loving memory of Robert 'Bob' James Richard Ashton who sadly passed away on 11th January 2026

Dad was diagnosed with the awful disease Alzheimer’s in summer 2020. He battled so hard and came up against so many obstacles along the way but he never let it get him down and always kept his sense of humour.

Dad hated loosing his independence and being looked after. We will always be grateful for all the laughs and love he gave us over the years.

Dad you will be missed by so many people as you were loved by everyone! Sleep tight Dad x x x

Bob, you were a wonderful man, always happy, kind and finding time for others. We'll always remember you fondly every time we see a train set, which we know bought you so much joy. You will be greatly missed, but fondly remembered.
