In the statement released through Cambridgeshire Police, the family said: "It's not every day you meet someone who genuinely puts others first."He was a devoted husband to Ade, the kind who remembered anniversaries and could still recall what they both wore on their first date. "As a father to Samantha and Shaun, he was the kind of man who could fix anything, never the Wi-Fi though, but he tried."They added: "So, here's to the man who gave us everything, and asked for nothing, and somehow made selflessness look effortless. "We'll always be together - you've left your mark on all of us in the best possible way."Police have been appealing for witnesses following the collision.
