A man who died following a collision at Harwich International Port has been described as "caring and hardworking father and husband".

Michael Abrahams, 50, from Harwich, was walking in a parking area at the port on November 26 when he was involved in a collision with a lorry.

His wife Star, who is pictured with Michael, said: “Mick was a loving, caring and hardworking father and husband.

“He always found a way to make people around him laugh.

“Mick was known to many of his friends as ‘Panda’.

“He worked most of his life as a lorry driver and he loved his job.

“We will honour him in the way he lived his life - full on.

“I would like to take this opportunity to say a massive thank you to all his friends who has been there for us - especially Martin Reeves and Mandy Scott, as well as his boss Helen Macklin, who are helping us with a fundraiser to support us with his funeral costs.”

Essex Police are continuing to appeal for information about the collision.
