Two other people were rescued after the recreational boat they were in capsized on the Riverton bar, 100m off shore, about 3pm. Its managing director, Daryl Moyles, said he had been business partners with Mr King for more than 20 years. Mr Moyles told Stuff that Mr King was still hands-on after retirement and would visit the Stockfoods plant regularly. He said Mr King was an ‘‘astute’’ and innovative businessman who did a lot of volunteer work - especially with youth. Mr McCulloch founded architect firm McCulloch Architects in Invercargill, where he worked until 2014 before retiring.
