A joint statement issued by Mr Barber’s family added: “Adrian was a devoted family man, he adored his three children, two grandchildren, sisters and brothers, nieces and nephews.”
“He will be sorely missed by all who knew him. He was always an active man and had many hobbies and interests throughout his life, from rugby, carnival, karate, squash, swimming, running and cycling.”
“His most recent hobby was his new Matchless motorcycle which was his pride and joy. It was the same make and model his father had owned in the 1960’s and had brought back many happy memories for him.”
