A BEREAVED daughter has paid tribute to her 'kind and extremely hard-working' postman father.

Thames Valley Police said David Greenleaf passed away following a tragic crash in Maidenhead on September 22.

Today, his daughter has released a tribute in his memory and honoured his three dedicated decades serving the local community as postman.

She said: "My dad was an extremely kind and gentle man which is what makes this so heart-breaking.

"He was devoted to myself and his two grandchildren. I know we meant so much to him, as he did to us.

"Dad worked extremely hard as a postman for over 30 years and was well known and loved by the community, working in Maidenhead on his round in the Ray Mill area.

"His sporting love was Watford Football Club, having followed them for over 60 years, closely followed by horse racing.

"Family, friends and colleagues will miss him dearly."
