I remember the good times I had with Craig at school. Always fun to be with, and always there with a witty comment. I still fondly remember the nickname he gave me at primary school.

Darryl worked with Craig at Jacques Martin (2000-2005) and Craig became a good friend to both of us. Many card nights, lots of laughs, dinners and drinks, Craig cooked awesome Lamb Shanks. The 3 of us has a wonderful time at the 2007 Rugby World Cup in the UK and France. Great 6 weeks away, rugby and touring. Have so many great memories. Craig you were taken far too soon. Thoughts are with the Wheeler family at this time. Fenella and Darryl Gray

I worked with Craig at Jacques Martin from 2000 to 2004, and all of my memories of him are of what a genuinely nice and humourous man he was. He was well liked and respected and I was shocked to hear that he has been taken from us too soon. My heartfelt condolences to Craig's family and friends. Rest in peace my friend.
