Operations manager Stan MacRae, who helped establish RNLI Kessock Lifeboat, based near Inverness, more than 25 years ago, has sadly passed away.
A Scots RNLI hero has been hailed a ‘true gent’ with an ‘incredible dedication to saving lives at sea’ following his sudden death. Dozens of heartfelt tributes have poured in for operations manager Stan MacRae, who helped establish RNLI Kessock Lifeboat, based near Inverness, more than 25 years ago.
Alex Purves wrote: “Stan you were an absolute gent and a true friend to me who I often turned to for advice and a chat about family, lifeboats and flood rescue. You will be very sorely missed by all who knew you. “He will be sorely missed. My thoughts are with Stan's family, friends and RNLI Kessock Lifeboat as well as the wider SAR family - who have lost a gent of a team member.”
James Lynch commented: “I learned a great deal from Stan during my time on the crew at Kessock. I also attended some memorable shouts with him.
