Cannot thank Sir enough for the support and guidance during my time at HBHS, I wouldn't have come to Otago university with the confidence and backing I had from Sir. He knew what was necessary for a successful career, through empathy, diligence and experience, he would strive for us seniors, to succeed as future alumni and old boys of Hastings Boys. He had one of the biggest hearts, his passion for the school and the students could only be rivaled for his love of rugby. You will be missed. Rest in peace Sir

Work colleague, boss, friend, mentor, Craig was fantastic to work alongside. He had a huge wealth of knowledge he was always happy to share. Craig encouraged me to study and gain a formal qualification in Career Guidance. He believed in me more than I believed in myself and never doubted I could be anything other than an A student. He spent hours reading my assignments, mentoring me on how to change my writing style from creative to academic. He always had my back. I will miss him popping in to HBHS when out on his walks. Always with a ready smile and keen for a chat. We would share updates on family our grandchildren and what was happening at school. Craig had a huge heart - one of life’s gentleman - I will miss him dearly. Rest in peace Craig ❤️

Our closet and dearest friend spent his last three weeks supporting us with Marks treatment. We are eternally grateful we had that time with him. 55 years friendship so many memories. The kindest most giving unconditional loving soul who loved his family and friends and gave his all. Served others above himself RIP
