Rex McLeod
 
Rex was a loyal supporter of Clan Macleod, Hawkes Bay and passed away late July 2005.
 
The following tribute is from fellow clansfolk in the Hawkes Bay.
 
We of Clan MacLeod held Rex in high regard. He was a leader who asked the difficult questions and got answers. Rex was a man of the land but a person who valued other people. He was true to his word with many a story to tell.
Rex was a loyal clansman who held the motto “HOLD FAST” in high regard. He lived by those two words. Hospitality was freely given and Edna and Rex welcomed people into their home. He was also a J.P.
The greatest gift he gave Clan MacLeod was his genuine regard for people. We were indeed fortunate to have Rex as one of our members.
 
Our deepest sympathy and love go to Edna and Grant and other members of his family including his siblings Mavis Harper and Don McLeod. He loved his family and they in turn loved him.
 
Rex, you did not physically make the trip “over the sea to Skye’ and on to our ancestral home of Dunvegan Castle. May you - like a bird on the wing complete thatr journey.
We will continue to honour the motto that you held in high regard.
 
Rex we will hold fast .

Ron Tucker

Our dear life member, Ron Tucker passed away 21 October 2007. Ron was husband to Runa for over 60 years. he was a wonderful "consort" to Runa in Clan MacLeod matters, especially during the 28 years Runa was local secretary and always took a keen interest in the clan.
Overseas visitors were warmly welcomed and looked after, accommodation very often included at their beautiful home and garden, so lovingly tended by both.
Ron was Past President of Clan MacLeod Otago and even though ill health prevented an active interest over the past four years, still enjoyed visits from clan members and the committee, offering his wise counsel as always.
Ron will be sadly missed by us all.
