Loving tributes have been paid following the death of a former QMC porter and keen motorcyclist. Rob Newcombe sadly passed away on Sunday, September 25 following a crash during a motorcycle ride.
The 70-year-old from Ilkeston has been described by his sister Kim Newcombe, 65, as being much-loved by everyone.
Rob was a member of the Nottinghamshire-based Deadbeats motorcycle group. On the day he had been taking part in a ride in Northampton with other members of the group, in memory of a motorcyclist who passed away recently. The accident happened when he hit a pothole and was thrown from his bike.
