The family of a lawyer who died after being hit by a car in Bournemouth say he "repeatedly changed people’s lives for the better".
They have paid tribute to 78-year-old Nick Crewe who was knocked down in Ashley Road in Boscombe on 1 May.
He died from his injuries in hospital on 2 May.
Dorset Police said the collision near the junction with Windham Road involved a grey Vauxhall Mokka.
His family said: "We are devastated to lose Nick in such a tragic way.
"He was taken too early and we are heartbroken.
"Despite being 78, he was working as a lawyer, took four dog walks a day and, just as always, was still doing things for others.
"Nick was a lifelong contributor to his local community. Over the decades, and alongside his wife, he helped at a local Cubs group, ran a youth club, was a school governor and ran both youth and adult football clubs. He repeatedly changed people’s lives for the better.
"Throughout his life Nick was best known for being kind and thoughtful. His family and friends ask for the same consideration and request their privacy be respected at this time."
