Family pays tribute to man killed in crash on A14 at Copdock
The family of 61 year old Maurice Brame say he had "a heart of gold" and " would do anything for anyone"
The family of a man who was killed in a crash on the A14 at Copdock last month have paid tribute.
61 year old Maurice Brame was riding a motorbike at around 6am on September 21 when he was involved in a collision with a lorry on the eastbound carriageway.
He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Sergejs Baikovs, 33, of Boston in Lincolnshire was subsequently charged with causing death by dangerous driving.
He's been remanded in custody ahead of a court appearance on October 20.
Paying tribute, Maurice's family said: “In loving memory of our brother, son and fiancé Maurice Brame."
“Maurice was taken from us in road traffic collision when he was driving to work at GMA Haulage, where he had worked for 27 years.
“The great loves of his life were his fiancée Jenny of 8 years, his motorbike, his football team Leeds United and his music.
“Years ago, Maurice and his brother Glyn use to run a disco together called “Masterblaster" when it was CB Radio and his call name was “Woodchopper".
“Maurice was a funny chap and always said he should have been a comedian with all the little sayings he would come out with.
“Anyone that knew or met Maurice, he would leave a lasting impression on them. Maurice had a heart of gold, he was very loving and would do anything for anyone if he could.
“We are all devastated at the loss of Maurice. He is at peace now with his mum looking down on us saying: “Where you been asleep", which was one of his sayings.
“Well my darling that is where you are now, so rest easy and we will meet again someday, love you always.
“The family are overwhelmed with all the messages they have received and would like to thank you all.
“WOOP WOOP YES YES."
