The loss of a good mate is painful to put into words. Though distance eventually separated us, we could still chat as if I’d never left. You are the toughest yet most gentle soul I’ve known. You have met and beaten every challenge ever thrown up at you except this last. You have touched my life and I celebrate the memories with joy. Till another time and place. Cheers Rob

Your journey is done
Rest now

Dear Craig. I was blessed to be able to call you ‘friend.’ I will miss your smile & how you were happy to share what you loved & what was Important to you. It was obvious that you & Mon were “joined at the hip” & your love for each other was truly special. I’m sure you’re already sailing on “the Ocean in the Sky.”

Our heartfelt condolences 💐 to you Monica.
Craig was an inspiration to those around him.
He fought so hard and never complained.
His sense of humour never left him and he was everyone’s mate. RIP Craig.

Vale Craig, best older Bro I could wish for. You fought the struggle and those chats we had I miss so much. I will think of you everyday.

I will think of you resting peacefully with Mum and Dad. Your bro Dane and sister in law Wanda
