Tributes

Donna and family, My deepest and most sincere condolences. Craig was a great man, a great sailor, and always a pleasure to be around. We competed on the water and enjoyed great banter off the water. I’ll miss his good nature and smiling face around the boat parks and marina, and our online chats. Smithy May you forever enjoy fair winds and following seas wherever you sail.

Craig left us with many great memories. Mine won't fade . He was a passionate man and led a big life. I loved our late night fireside sing alongs , him with his guitar and enthusiasm under the Magnolia tree, the banter and debate. Go well Craig. My deepest condolences to all of Craigs family.

Craig’s guardian angels have known and have swept Craig up. We can let go as he has passed to the other side and is being showered in heavenly love. He’s now racing the biggest bikes, sailing with the fair wind and calm seas we witness rolling in the clouds. We will always remember that beautiful smile, cheeky jokes and raising a glass full of heart on many an occasion. And of course the many adventures he took us on! He kept our spirits high and comforted us when we were down. Beautiful Craig your legacy will live on through the Boys, Donna, Mark Sandra, Smith Clan, and your wonderful friends near and far. Thank you for all the wonderful memories and tributes shared today. Rest In Peace Dearest Cousin. Much Love Doreen Smith - Williams (The eldest cousin!)
