CLERMONT - Police this morning had fond memories of Officer Robert Sayers, who was killed Wednesday in a motorcycle crash in Sumter County while riding home from work.

"He always had a positive attitude," police Chief Steve Graham said. "He was one of the most pleasant fellows. He was never in a bad mood."

Sayers, 39, lived in Spring Hill with his wife, Sarah, and two young boys.

He was driving home from work, heading west on State Road 50 at about 4:30 pm on his 2006 Triumph motorcycle when the crash happened. A 2004 Volkswagen Golf in front of Sayers stopped behind a school bus at a sharp bend of the road near County Road 757, according to the Florida Highway Patrol. Sayers' motorcycle then struck the rear of the Volkswagen.
