Tributes to motorcyclist killed in A36 crash near Wilton
66 year old Stephen Cooke died at the scene of the collision.
The family of Stephen Cooke, from Dilton Marsh, have released a tribute to him.
He passed away following the collision on the A36 between Wilton and South Newton at around 9.00pm last Thursday night (8th October).
The crash involved only his motorbike.
Stephen's daughter, Alice Cooke, has spoken about her father:
"There aren't enough words in the world to describe this incredible man who was not only a dad but a good friend to us all because we are such a close-knit family.
"Dad was such an amazingly talented man - a force of nature really. He had a love for the daring and dangerous at times and all through his life he enjoyed adventure. He also had an energic free spirit which was eccentric in as much as he would try anything and create so much happiness in his unique, creative way. He loved riding motorbikes which he had done throughout his life.
"He was so musically talented too - being able to sing, lead choirs and play the church organ; most recently he was playing regularly for St Mary's, Bathwick. He was also extremely skillful with his hands - making musical instruments; both designing and building them.
"The family business, working with his son and my brother, of church organ restoration allowed him to showcase this talent. He will be deeply missed by everybody for all the above, but his spirit and love of life will remain in our lasting memories of him."
