To the most kindest soul this earth has seen. You were and are the truest of gentlemen and the epitome of what it is to be a friend. You always had a smile on your face and always saw the best In people. Thank you for looking after my Emily, it always warmed my heart that I know she had you by her side. Saturdays will not be the same, not seeing your face when getting our cricket club bbq meat. We are going to miss you, but you will always live on in our hearts. Love you lots mate xoxo

Craig, you were the spark that made my time at Coles Balwyn North special.

Your kindness and cheeky humour made sure no day was like another.

Forever in our hearts and memories. Xxx

Craig, my amigo…

I first met Craig while working in one of the liquor shops. We ended up chatting in the freezers, of all places — and somehow, through those cold conversations (and thanks to Em and the coffee runs), a great friendship began.

We built something special. Even though we didn’t catch up often, whenever we did, there was laughter, sarcasm, and plenty of dark humour — that was our thing.

Craig later came to work with me at Express after his department was restructured, and I genuinely appreciated every minute we spent together during that time. One day, he moved on, and we lost contact.

Craig, I’ll always love you, my amigo.
Thank you for being such a kind soul — for filling everyone’s life with joy, humour, and that sharp wit of yours. I’m truly sorry you’re gone. I’m sorry I didn’t catch up with you one last time.

I’ll carry our good times, our chats, and your warmth in my heart.

See you around, mate.

Love you always.

Well, where to start. I have so many. I was saddened to hear you were gone, shocked really. I thought what a hole you will leave in so many lives. You are well known for your smile, fun character & fabulous sense of humor, but also for just being the genuine person that you were. We had many laughs & lots of good times. You, Vicki, Maria & me, cruising in the corolla, stereo blaring, vodka & coke on tap, misbehaving but enjoying life. RIP Craig.

Dearest Craig
You will be greatly missed by all , your contagious laugh and smile always made me
Happy no matter what mess i was in you always knew how to make my day better! We thank you for being a great joy to our village and community! Gone to young but we will never forget you.
Love always
