Tributes are being paid to a 'loyal friend' and 'devoted grandad' who was hit by a car and killed in Bradford over the weekend.
68 year old Darrell Dalton was fatally injured on Little Horton Lane at around midnight on Saturday (September 27).
In a statement his daughter Rebecca said:
“We can't find the words to truly express the devastation this loss has caused our family and network of friends.
“Being well into remission after fighting lung cancer for a year, he ensured that he could see his only grandson grow and spend his retirement with his friends and family.
“This opportunity has needlessly been removed from a caring and supportive grandad, dad and a good friend.
“Dad was a loyal friend, who was always ready with some good-natured jibes towards his friends at snooker. He was also a devoted grandad. His only grandson was his whole world.
“Dad was a keen fisherman and taught me how to fish from a very young age. We spoke every day, even if just for a few minutes.
“I will forever miss his stubborn ways and seeing his face light up when he saw his grandson or myself.
“The hole that’s has been left by his loss, to his family and friends, is immeasurable.”
28 year old Robert Nagoda, of no fixed address, is charged with taking a vehicle without consent, driving without a licence, failing to stop, driving without insurance and failing to report a collision.
Anyone with information is being urged to contact South Yorkshire Police on 101.
