In a tribute issued to Suffolk police after Mr Down s death, his family said he will be remembered for bringing people together through his “wonderful, loud and gregarious character”.
His family said: “Andrew Down had a passion for life like no other, he was the fittest 69-year-old grandad you are likely to have met, cycling through the villages and coastline surrounding Felixstowe. This wonderful, loud, gregarious character continued to support people and work within his community after he retired.
