Very sorry to hear of the sad news that Alex has passed away. Have very fond memories as a young boy of many trips to race tracks around Southland with my parents (Charlie & Doreen)and of visits to Alex and Bev at your house in Winton. A lovely man and gentleman.

Dear Bev, Bryan, Garry and families,

Our sincere condolences of hearing of Alex passing today.
One of natures true and genuine gentleman. A true friend over many years who encouraged me over 55 years ago to pursue my passion of veterinary science.
I am proud to have called him a friend and I always enjoyed our talks during my visits to Invercargill.

We will be thinking of you all especially on the 30th November.

God bless you all.

sincerely

Alastair and Susan MacLean , Elizabeth and Jenny
