"Marek will be missed by everyone for his genuine smile, warm words and kindness.''
The family of a man who died in a car crash in Aberdeenshire say he will be missed by everyone.
Marek Walowski was on the A947 near Banff at around 8.30pm on Sunday when his car left the road and hit a tree.
His relatives have released a tribute, talking about the 53-year-old's cheerfulness and kindness.
They said: Marek was an honest and content person. He was cheerful and well-known in the Turriff and Banff areas - as soon as he walked into Banff Tesco all the workers would shout 'Czesc' ('hello' in Polish) in his way.
He also loved to swim and was a regular visitor at Banff swimming pool, where he was known by everyone.
Marek will be missed by everyone for his genuine smile, warm words and kindness.''
Emergency services attended the collision, close to King Edward church, but Mr Walowski, from Macduff, died at the scene.
No-one else was injured in the crash
