THE FAMILY of a man who died in a road traffic collision in Woodley on Friday, August 29, have released the a tribute to him.
The statement reads: “My brother, James Sullivan.
“James was a strong healthy man, a husband; father; son; brother and friend – was only 49 and had so much more to offer the world.
“He did not die as a result of a life limiting disease, nor did his body grow too old to continue, he simply went out on his new road bike one Friday afternoon and never came home.
“James’ dry sense of humour defined him. He made everyone laugh even when laughter (or his joke) seemed inappropriate.
“He wanted everyone to be happy – he knew himself what it was to be sad.
“He was an extremely proud father and uncle; James was fiercely protective of his wife, two daughters, brothers, sisters, nephews, nieces, and many friends.
“We all miss him terribly.”
Police are still appealing for witnesses in relation to this incident.
