Family and friends are just beginning to cope with the loss of a Boston man who was killed in a motorcycle crash.

Paul McNamara said, "He'll be a part of my heart forever."

We met up an emotional McNamara at Lake Erie Towing, where he came to see the mangled pieces of his daughter's boyfriend's motorcycle.

"Every day he was on that bike and I would always tell him, 'Be careful, be careful, be careful.' And he would say, 'I know, I know,'" recounted McNamara.

Lenny Iwanenko of Lake Erie Towing said, "In the 25 years of towing, this was by far the worst I've ever dealt with as far as a motorcycle crash."

24-year-old Peter Janker apparently wasn't careful enough Thursday night when he lost control around a turn on Boston-Colden Road in the town of Boston and was thrown from the bike.

NYS Police Capt. Steven Nigrelli said, "At this point it's quite evident from the scene, from the eyewitness account, that the primary cause of this was speed."

But Janker's loved ones are not focused on the crash, but rather Peter himself right now.

McNamara said, "Just one of them kids, you ask them to do something, never complain. Always happy. Just an all around great kid."

With his parents living in Florida, he was a new hire at Ferguson Electric. A hard worker who wore his heart on his sleeve. McNamara says he'll never forget their last conversation.

"He said, 'I just want to tell you "thank you" for everything you do.' He goes, 'I love you like you were my own dad.' I says, 'Pete, I love you like you were my own son.' That was it. That was the last I heard from him. And about an hour later, I got a phone call," said McNamara.

The motorcycle crash is just the latest in a summer that seemed to be filled with deadly bike crashes.

"I don't know if it's the speed of the motorcycles, the low-profile of the motorcycles, operator error. There's a lot of combinations. Alcohol involvement. There are a lot of factors that are in play, but boy, we've experienced a lot of motorcycle fatalities this year," said Capt. Nigrelli.

And no matter what causes them, each deadly crash ends the same, with heartbroken loved ones in mourning.

McNamara said, "It's a shame that it happened and I hope he's in a better place right now."
