I met CJ when I was 17. First year of Uni and first time living away from home. I was shy and awkward and living with bunch of strangers I was too scared to talk to at first. CJ was an extrovert, so warm and friendly, interested in people and interested in having fun. We hit it off pretty well. He taught me tricks to getting good marks in art history essays. He helped me to break into Sherwood House when I’d locked myself out. He made sure I was included. One night there was party I didn’t feel like going to at first. I was home alone and it was unusually quiet at Sherwood House. It got lonely pretty quickly. Before long CJ turned up at the door, without me asking he had come back from the party to pick me up. CJ was kind, generous and irreverent and I hold dear the memories of his friendship.

As I watched the fabulous celebration of Craig's life from lockdown in NSW today, I was reminded how his life touched, guided and influenced so many others... how he always brought people together to form new friendships... and that legacy continued today. When I was an outsider - Craig accepted me In the important moments - Craig celebrated with me When I was contemplating something new - Craig encouraged me In the good times - Craig laughed with me When greeting after long absences - Craig embraced me When I was struggling - Craig counselled me Now that he is gone - his friends go on with me.

I love this photo of Liz and Craig. I had to post it to show the impromptu marriage celebration we we privy to. Craig in his silver number and Liz in my favourite Bros t shirt and a veil. Priceless! I met Craig initially at a 21st and the party literally came alive when he arrived. Years later my good friend Liz started dating him. And Omg the banter and wit as they bounced off each other was hilarious. Craig will definitely be missed. He was so charismatic, witty, brutally honest but so so funny. My thoughts are with you Liz and all the family. I hope this photo makes you smile, it certainly made me. Lot of love Bel

Today’s celebration of Craig’s life was beautiful with family and friends sharing their precious memories of a very loved partner, son, brother, cousin and friend. Sending love and support to Lizzie and family as life continues on without Craig by your side.

Thinking of you all today. Will never forget all those hours we spent playing Monopoly in Craig's bedroom as kids, family picnics and camping trips, Christmases with the Blakeleys. Although we were always that bit younger, Craig, Susan and Paul always included us and kept us entertained. Will miss that infectious smile and happy go lucky approach to life that I could definitely learn from! In Eucla now, and will be sure to have a beer for you at the end of today's travels. Vale Cousin Craig
