Alistair Martin LUKES, aka, Luksey or Big Al.

This afternoon we bid farewell to one of our retired officers, Al Lukes.

His service in Port Macquarie was one of the best I have ever attended.

The Rural Fire Service were well represented and their Chaplin conducted a wonderful service.

Retired Police from Taree, Coffs Harbour and Port Macquarie were also well represented.

Retired Chief Supt Ian Campbell gave Als eulogy on behalf of the Retired Police Port Macquarie Branch in which Al was the Chairman and leader for many years.

May you Rest In Peace Al, you are already sadly missed.

On Sunday he had dinner with is next door neighbour and went home early evening.

His neighbour rang him several times yesterday morning ( Monday ) but did not get a response so in the early afternoon he went down to Al’s house. He found him still in bed and unresponsive.

His cause of death is not known at this stage but it will be determined in the coming days.

I will advise of funeral arrangements when they are known but that will be later this week or possible next week.

I have spoken to his sister Kathy and offered her our assistance if she requires it.

Al lived alone and his sister is his only surviving relative as far as we can establish.

Al was a man who was committed to providing service to the community. Firstly as a Police Officer, then as Chairman of the Mid North Coast Branch of the RFPA. He was a dedicated RFS volunteer and for many years he ran a support service for emergency workers suffering the effects of PTSD and similar type work related medical conditions.

Al was a very selfless man.

RIP Al Lukes.
