Tragic Paul 'lived life to full'

TRIBUTE has been paid to a Peacehaven man who was killed in a motorcycle crash. Paul Fry, 38, of Collingwood Close, died when his Honda motorbike collided with a Ford Focus near the Three Ponds caravan park at South Heighton.

The driver and four passengers in the car were taken to hospital with slight injuries.

Mr Fry's sister, Shirley Mills, said: 'Paul was a loving son, brother and uncle who loved everything in life. He had so many friends across the south coast, not just in Sussex.'

Paul, who worked as a floor layer for GJ Vagg (Flooring) Ltd, in Worthing, was a motorbike fanatic.

'He lived life to the full, worked hard, loved horses and his precious motorbikes visiting Brands Hatch only last month. There will be a large hole left in all our hearts. He will be sadly missed by all his family and friends,' said Shirley.

She expressed her thanks to all Paul's friends who had laid floral tributes at the scene of the crash and police family liaison officer PC Julian Taylor who had helped them deal with their loss.

Police are still appealing for witnesses who saw the crash on August 11, at 4pm, in particular the driver of a light or cream coloured Transit-style van which was travelling north along the A26.
