For 42 years of my life I had the privilege to call you dad. Growing up I never realised how much of an impact you had on other people. If people had met you for a minute or a lifetime they always walked away happy. I know we both loved putting shit on each other. I know that the first soccer game of the season is going to hard not having you there. My kids and many others will also miss you around sports. I know you have gone to be with your parents but it does not take away the pain.
PS we will look after your girl (mum) for you like you asked. Rest easy maté thinking of you always

For 34 years you have been like a second Dad to me. I don’t think there are enough words to explain how grateful I am for the love and support you have given me.
You have celebrated many good times with me, and given me some solid advice and words of wisdom when times were tough. You never once judged me or any of my life decisions, which is the thing I admire most about you. You embraced everyone with kindness, without judgement and unconditional love.
Growing up, I remember when Jus and I would walk through the door of your house and hearing you say “here’s my girls” , you made me feel like one of the family every time you said it. It is also a term you fondly used when your granddaughter would visit. Even as an adult it would still make me smile to hear you say those words.
Let’s face it I was at your house a lot as a kid/teenager and you never batted an eyelid when you would get home and see me hanging out with Jus. You would just ask how I was and what we were up to and get on with whatever you needed to do.
I miss you terribly and my heart breaks knowing I won’t get to see you or hear your voice again. Then it beaks a even more when I think of Lyn, Jus, Michael, Robert, Adam and the rest of the McKnight empire you and Lyn created. I know you are proud of them and will continue to watch of them and the rest of us that loved you dearly.
You are and will always be and amazing man in my eyes, thank you for everything.
Bel xxxx

I enjoyed Alex‘s company in 1995 and again in 1997 on my 2 visits to Australia. I remember him, Lyn and family taking me down to the prime studios to sit in the news readers chair etc which I still have the photographs of.. One thing for sure he was larger than life and you could certainly hear him coming before you saw that he was there. Then again a few years later both Alex and Lyn came to stay in our house in Blackburn, Lancashire, UK for a good few days. Great memories. Sending lots of love to all the family and friends from Darren Brand and family. X

Not an official statement but I’m so saddened to hear of Alec’s passing. I remember him from his time as GA at Eschol Park PS. He loved a chat about football (soccer) and even coached a bit of school football when we needed help. He was such a good natured bloke who loved a chat & had a cheery outlook, so sad to hear of your passing.

Alex..40 years ago our families moved to minto at same time..Our friendship started few years latter with our kids at same school. You worked their as GA also..As the kids grew and we saw many changes around minto and our kids..You were at Stingers ground for games not only youre kids games but most games..I loved our talks and your knowledge of soccer..
Some of our boys played together, but you also watched my girls and daughter in laws games..Then when our grandkids came along they played together you and lyn were always their..When the girls decided to play netball you and lyn were there watching.. We would go from soccer to netball to be able to see the grandkids play..Saturdays were busy.
We shared the love of mighty rabbits.
We shared the love of our kids and grandkids.
You will be missed by many youre presence will be felt all over

I have so many memories of Alec , one as a young child wanting to play soccer and there was no girls competition at that time and Alec let me train with the boys and even included me on presentation day with a trophy of my own. Then as a teenager he gave me my first ever driving lesson where I ran up the gutter in his car, I was scared and shocked but Alec stayed calm and reassured me that it happens to everyone which I now know was just to make me feel better lol. We were great family friends the McKnights and the Hughes families shared many occasions and times together. My heart goes out to Lyn , Robert, Adam, Michael and Justeene and all their families.

Alex you always made us laugh from the first moment we met you years ago, especially when yelling FFS at Jussy. Our faces would be hurting from laughing.
Hearing you cheering on Academy and Greenpoint for many years. You were everyone’s cheerleader and we will always be yours.
After I moved interstate there were minimal opportunities to see you, but when I did you always had a smile on your face and welcoming arms.
Your smile and voice would light up a room, please do me a favour and continue to do so in heaven.
Say “Hi” to my Dad, he will happy to see you.
Love your favourite Stringer (Peta)

Alex’s voice booming across the soccer field is one of the first things that come to mind when I think of him. He was always there watching, coaching and encouraging everyone (except the refs lol).
He was the best dad and grandad and was so supportive of his kids and especially his grandkids. Having him on the sideline always lifted the team and I’m sure helped us win many times!
The love he had for his children, grandchildren and Lyn was always obvious to anyone who knew the family. We hope you draw strength from all the well wishes and the impact your husband, dad and grandad had on all who knew him xx

Memories of Mr McKnight. He was known as Mr Mcknight to me even as grown adult I still call him Mr McKnight. He was our GA at Campbellfield public school. I had great memories of him being fun, always smiling and would do anything for anyone.
I remember when I had stayed over his house for a sleep overs with his daughter we never got in trouble we could do nothing wrong.
Mr McKnight was a great coach of our ladies soccer team one year.
When having children my children played sports with his grandchildren and spent many weekends watching his grandkids playing and yelling out and encouraging all the kids.
Over all he was just a happy person to be around. RIP Mr McKnight. I’m thinking of all the family hoping you find some peace knowing he isn’t suffering xx

I have so many wonderful memories of Uncle Alec and was so lucky to have him in my life for 61 years. From playing with us when Tony & I were young children, to having a chat or drink. He always had a big smile and his family was his everything. He will be missed. xx

Whenever I saw dad, he would always give me a “hello Justine” in his little accent that I loved. I knew, and could always see how much she loved his daughter-my friend. He was so well known in the Campbelltown community. He was at the events always with Lyn by side. He will be missed dearly. Sending my love thoughts and prayers and hugs to all of the family at this difficult time. Love Justine

"Raynham, give us your keys please, gotta run to the mower shop"
"Alex would you like a cup of tea?" "Only if you haven't got a beer"
"Raynham, come and look at my Dianna garden near the canteen"
Best ever GA at Eschol Park, greatest cheer squad at Minto Stingers, fantastic "uncle" to the "Raynettes".
A wonderful friend and colleague.

My Dad, my best friend, a legend and my partner in crime. What an amazing 40 years we had together. I am absolutely the luckiest girl in the world to be able to call you my Dad. I will cherish each and every moment that I got to spend with you and geeze did we have some bloody funny times. From the club visits to the cheeky conversations to the dropping lunch off to me at work. You were always there for everyone, but especially you were always there for me. I know we had our fights, but we always finished the day with a “I love you” regardless of what had happened. I could write on here forever and words can’t express how much I already miss you or how much you positively impacted me and this world. I take comfort in knowing that you went in your way, on your terms and exactly how you said you would. So I have just three things left to say. First I’ll miss hearing “for fucks sake Justeene”. Secondly I know you were ready but my heart was definitely not. Thirdly I love you, I miss you and I honestly don’t know how I’ll live without you.
Rest In Peace Dad.
