“Our dad was an avid and highly responsible biker for many years, so this was the last thing any of us could ever have imagined.”
They added: “He was a wonderful dad and supported and encouraged us in everything we did throughout our whole lives.
“Dad had a fantastic sense of humour and we loved to see him walk through the door. He was a perfect grandad, energetic and full of life, and our own children thought the world of him.”
