Default And life goes on...

I am sad for the loss of Craig, and today the decision to miss his send-off was equally difficult to take and make. But for the right reason's. My Son Aaron, and his Girlfriend Kyra have just had a baby girl. Amber entered the world this afternoon, and I am now a Grandad. Just rang my folks to tell them they were Great Grand Parents.

So goodbye Craig, my friend. Sorry I wasn't there mate. And I can just hear you now, calling me "an Old Bastard". See you again sometime.

Kev.

Kev

We have taken some footage of the ceremony today, some 280 odd people attended I dare say, keep your eyes peeled for the release of the tribute to Craig as we intend to raise funds for the family of both.

Also gives those interstate a chance to share the great memories of a man that many were proud to call a mate!

Congratulations Kev on becoming a grandad.
Todays service was a moving tribute to a great fellow with a few laughs from tales past.

It was a touching service and when Craig's daughters spoke there was not a dry eye in the hall. He will be missed. And to top of truly sad day was road raged on way home........

Took my first snaps of my Grandaughter and happy parents today. Good thing I don't rely on my camera for a living. But she's cute.

Thanks Gary, and exactly my thoughts. To know they share the same birthday will keep Craig's memory alive in me 'till my passing. The time I met you at Craig's factory, you were fashioning dual exhaust tips together. Monster cannon's. Take care mate.

Congrats Grandad

Every person I can call granddad who is about my age makes me feel just that little bit younger than my body tells me it is.
