The family of a motorcyclist who was killed in a collision on the A606 at Langham have paid tribute to a “special dad and grandad”.
As we reported, the A606 was closed for a majority of last Sunday due to the collision just outside Langham.
Leicestershire Police and Leicestershire Fire & Rescue Service attended the incident along with the Derbyshire, Leicestershire and Rutland Air Ambulance.
Brian Rudkin – also known as Bryn – was riding a Piaggio PX motorcycle that was involved in a collision with a black Nissan Terrano on the morning of Sunday 2nd March. Mr Rudkin, aged 57, was pronounced dead at the scene.
A woman in her 50s who was his pillion passenger was taken to hospital and later discharged.
In a statement, Mr Rudkin’s wife said: “As a family we are heartbroken. We’ve been together for 40 years married for nearly 37 years.
“We met though our shared love of scooters. Bryn was a dearly loved husband, father to two boys and grandad to five. He worshipped his children and grandchildren who have been robbed of those special dad and grandad times and future memories.
“Bryn was my best friend as well as my husband. Over the last year we had been making plans to fulfil some dreams and were looking forward to doing this together.
“The support we have received from our family, as well as the local and scootering community has been both overwhelming and a comfort to know everyone else knew Bryn as the lovely, kind, compassionate, caring man he was who would drop everything if someone needed help.
“We are still numb from the shock of having him taken from us so suddenly, we feel robbed of a future together, our lives will never be the same, we have lost a very special man.”
