A father has died while on holiday, leaving his children orphaned.
Craig Bloomer, 54, who ran a café in Wolverhampton, died after he was caught in a scooter crash while in Greece.
He lost control of the moped he was riding and crashed near the village of Agios Mattheos in Corfu in July.
He was rushed to hospital, but was pronounced dead by doctors.
Hi grieving daughter Rebecca, 32, also from Wolverhampton, said: ‘Our dad’s loss has left a massive hole in our lives.’
She added: We lost our mum two years ago to cancer. Since then, he has been a bit down in the dumps.
‘On holiday, it was the happiest I’d ever seen him, he had a new girlfriend.
‘He was lovely and a proper family man.’
He was known to love motorbikes, old cars, going to the pub, snooker, and was ‘really good’ at art.
The sudden death came after he lost his wife Jane, 53, to cancer.
The grandfather had been staying on the island with his two daughters, their partners and their children.
His body was flown back to England on Wednesday and the family will start planning the funeral.
The heartbroken sisters have launched a GoFundMe to help with the costs.
