Robert James 'Bob' Chilmaid (5 Dec 1964 - 15 Mar 2021)

Bob a lovely man, brother in law and much loved uncle to my 3 sons. We saw each numerous times over the years after our respective marriages ended. Always a pleasure to talk with him and laugh together. So sad he couldn't enjoy his well earned retirement from the Fire Service after many years of dedication to a career he loved. RIP Rob. My thoughts to your lovely girls.

One of the best friends I've ever had. I was so lucky to have you and your kindness in my life. XxX

To a lovely bloke

What a bloke, every chat resulted in me laughing my head off. He got me involved in the FBU years ago, his passion to never give up was infectious. I’ll miss ya Bob.

Happy and smiley, never a cross word. A privilege to call you a friend.

Dear Bob, Will miss you so much, but, have so many fond memories you will live on in my heart. Rest in peace and fly high lovely friend. Heaven has gained an angel much too soon.

Xxx

Bob you were a true gent and I am honoured to have known you and served with you. Rest in peace

Whether it was nights on the Ladder or Saturday afternoons on the halfway line in the Liam Daish stand shouting 'HE WON'T HELP!' every time a sub was made.......being in Bob's company was never boring. I'm definitely a better fireman and a better person having known him. Was a great honour being part of sending him off in the proper way today. Take care mate x

My condolences to his family. Such a likeable character. will be missed by all.

Taken so cruely so early. Have such great memories of Bob, a truly lovely man always smiling and laughing

Whether it was nights on the back of the ladder, or Saturday afternoons on the halfway line in the Liam Daish stand shouting 'HE WON'T HELP' every time a sub came on....... being in Bob's company was never boring. I'm definitely a better fireman and a better person having known him, and I'm so grateful I was able to be part of sending him off in the proper way today. Take care mate x

RIP mate it was a pleasure to know you

Rest easy Rob

I corresponded with Bob through our common interest - Family History- he was such an enthusiastic and dedicated researcher and will be greatly missed.
Sad to reflect that I started at the Math school 25 years before Bob when the school was built around the old city wall.
Condolences to all the family for a bright light, lost too soon.-Don

Missing our lovely neighbour Bob, thinking of his family at this sad time. Love Frances, Mike and boys at no 12. xxx

To a great neighbour and friend, sadly missed by the Bellamy’s at #16.

Didn't meet that often and when we did it was often at Ebbsfleet, sorry Gravesend and Northfleet games. Always a pleasure to see, will be greatly missed. ☹️
