Tributes to former teacher killed in two car collision

Tributes have been paid to a Bourne teacher and grandfather who was killed in a car crash.

Guy Salmon (67) died in a collision on the A15 at Rippingale on October 11.

In a tribute to the father of three, his family said: “In 1987 the family moved to Bourne and Guy started teaching at st George’s primary school in Stamford. He would teach there (teaching mainly year 6) for over 20 years. Guy immensely enjoyed his time teaching there. He genuinely loved helping children grasp new ideas and learn new things and he made some fantastic friends in the colleagues he worked with. Guy retired from teaching in 2008 but he still had a very busy life.

“He was hugely involved in Sleaford New Life Church where he worked as a visitation pastor, giving encouragement and providing company to those who were unwell or in need of a friend.”

Along with volunteering at the church, Guy was also involved with the Nene Valley Railway.

The family added: “Guy was very much a family man with a great sense of humour and he will be greatly missed.”

The crash involved two vehicles, a blue Audi and a green MG, which Mr Salmon was travelling in.

The blue Audi was travelling towards Bourne and the green MG was travelling towards Sleaford. The three occupants of the blue Audi were not seriously injured.

Anyone with information should call Lincolnshire police on 101.
