Moving tribute paid to grandfather of 3 killed in motorbike crash
Rob Love's family has described him as a devoted husband and father
The family of a motorcyclist who died in a crash on the A350 West Ashton has paid tribute to the Grandfather of three.
Rob Love, 62, died on 17th December 2024 when his Yamaha YP 400 collided with a Volkswagen Taigo.
"Rob was a devoted husband, father and grampy/grampsie to his three grandchildren," his family said in a moving tribute.
They said: "Born to military parents in England but raised in Edinburgh with his sister Marnie, Rob joined the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards in 1980 and served as a gunner mech for 13 years which included active service during the Gulf War in 1990."
Rob met his wife Sue in 1987 while he was based in Warminster, marrying her in 1988.
The pair spent 37 years together with their son Stuart and step-children, Anthony and Richard.
The family continued in the tribute: "They settled in Westbury and resided there for over 30 years where Rob enjoyed many hobbies particularly walking his dogs Sam, Bruce and Ralphy and spending time socialising with his neighbours who he had become closer to during the pandemic with the affectionately named ‘Back Lane Gang’. He was also a passionate scooter rider who enjoyed organised events with the local biking community (the Maxi Muppets).
"Rob will be dearly missed by Sue, the boys, his grandchildren, sister, nephew, extended family and friends.
"‘You will forever be my always’."
