I remember our association with Ack and Lyndel with great affection, especially the help he gave to Junior School Rugby in the Northern Southland area. A gentleman and very great social company

Ack was a good friend and colleague of my father. We were privileged to have him at our wedding almost 17 years ago where he put down a scrum later in the evening with some of the overseas guests.A sad time indeed - condolences to the family

Sincere sympathy to Lyndel and family. I met Ack many years ago when I was a child and our fathers went fishing together as they were cousins. I still have a photo from that day. I then met him again at the Soper reunion in 2011. Thinking of you with love.
