Rest In Peace. I passed at about 3pm shortly after the accident had happened I think. The biker was maybe 20 yds off the road, his bike a further 20 yds away and more bits of wreckage another 20 yds away. I hope he didn't suffer too much pain. God bless.

I was shocked when i looked at the Telegraph's headlines only to see Ronnie's picture and name!
I remember him from 20 odd years ago when we used to play football on the St john's School pitch next to the railway bottom. He was a decent sensible lad and although we only bumped into each other occasionally he always spoke and mentioned those days. A sad tragic loss indeed.

R.I.P Ronnie.
