Lee Greck was nicknamed ‘Matthew Flinders’ by Belinda and her family because Lee was always off exploring on his motor bike.

On Saturday 28 September 2013, about 6.40pm, retired NSW Police Officer Lee George GRECK was riding his motor cycle and stopped at the ‘T’ intersection of Old Lilypool Rd and the Pacific Hwy, Grafton.

I worked with Lee at Fairfield Police Station in the early 1980s. He was a good Policeman and a good man.
Lee was our neighbor at Glenugie, he was a sincere and good man. We will miss him.
Such a beautiful boy! The photos show Lee just as I remember him. We worked many shifts together at Wollongong station in the early to mid ’80’s. I will remember him as a fun loving, little-bit-shy, honourable comrade.
