Tributes to ‘amazing’ Horwich biker after Rivington crash
Anthony Place died at the scene after his blue Yamaha motorbike collided with a car park barrier on a side road off Rivington Lane, near to Rivington Barn.
The 38-year-old’s family paid tribute to him and said: “Rest easy our beautiful son – you left us way too soon.
“Your smile lit up every room you went in to and your energy gravitated on to everyone you met.
“You were a loving father, stepfather, and partner, the best big brother, and a crazy uncle.
“Words will not come close to how this emptiness feels. You have left many hearts broken and a void that will never be filled.”
