MCEWAN, Alexander James, (Alex). 26/11/1949 - 4/7/2023. It is with great sadness that we say goodbye to Alex, who peacefully passed away on Tuesday 4th July. Dearly loved dad of Wayne, father-in-law of Caroline. Best mate of Eric and Lindsay.
An extended thank you to all of Alex’s friends and fishing buddies. Known affectionately as Cuz to most, and slim to a few.
“His wheels were never cold” but whenever he stopped he appreciated a hot kettle.

McEwan Alexander,
Passed away at home on Tuesday 4th of July. Known to many as Alec or Cuz.
Alec was strong-willed and stubborn at times but he also had an enormous heart and a witty sense of humor. His passion was for all things Cod, his fish runs, and his long-standing loyal customers from Invercargill and beyond.
Alec will be remembered fondly by both Eric and Dawn.
Rest easy Alec your final run is done
