THE family of a 45-year-old man who was killed after his motorbike collided with a car on a Suffolk road have paid tribute to him.

Father-of-three David Richardson, of Thorrington in Essex, died while out riding his Aprilla motorbike along the B1115 at Milden, near Monks Eleigh, on June 9.

His family said: “Everyone of us will miss this great man who adored his family and friends. He was the kindest man you could ever meet. He is loved and cherished by his loving fianc�e Carrie, his parents Shirley and Bob, his three children Liam, Sophie, and Katie, and his sister Sue.

“He lived his life to the full and had filled his short life with so many achievements. He had travelled all over the world and recently started running his own successful business - Blackwater Marine Services.

“No words can describe this terrible tragedy and loss that we feel. He died doing what he loved best, riding his motorbike. He will be in our hearts forever.”
