Craig, what can I say? Thank you for your steadfast mateship. For picking me up in your truck when you knew I was down. For your company at a couple of track days in Taupo. For the crazy 'dad jokes', name calling and teasing. Several adventures out and about around Taranaki, our mate dates. The way you dealt with my nosy perv neighbour - oh man how we laughed! Jack, Tayler and I will never forget you, nor will we ever stop talking about you, that way we keep your memory alive. You are, and will continue to be, missed. Love you eternally.

Craig was always such a welcomed competitor at South Taranaki Car Club events, rocking on up with his Trade Mark Smile. I remember meeting him when he was much younger at Ian & Nerrida Schuler's home. Always smiling and wanting to lend a hand in my role as a Herd Tester. Such wonderful memories. Craig will be very much missed by us all. Fly Free.

Helen & Mike Cameron

We're really going to miss you Craig. Thanks for being such an awesome mate to Mum, Dad and us. We'll never forget your awesome sense of humour and the jokes you cracked when you were around. We are so thankful for the impact you left on our lives. Will meet you again one day mate, and get to see you drive your big rig in the sky.

Jack Hintz

Old Mate, Thanks for all the support and friendship over the years, popping into the shop for a chat, helping me with my racing, letting me drive your car, teaching me how to rally on gravel. (I will never forget how hard you made me push that car on gravel and then laughed and said you were trying to make me crash so Well done for not!!!) Loved your witty jokes and big smile, RIP mate.

Shaun and Thea Van Beers

Craig, just to say thanks for your valued friendship. Was great to catch up at Taupo and to share time with you. Will miss that cheeky grin, your whit and your custom hair style. I am sure there will be many of the older car club members sharing good memories of early days mate. Some good times had by all. You will certainly be missed. No more pain mate, sleep well, will see you on the other side 🥹

Daryl Hintz

Craig me old mate I still remember the day we met at my parents dairy with you in the Datsun rally car. You are a special guy and we certainly had some laughs over the years and it was always good to catch up when I was back home. Take care mate and i will see you again one day
