    As kids we loved it when you visited – talk about a fun visitor (mind you we always got in some sort of trouble with mum and dad due to your antics lol). Always so energetic and hilarious. Will treasure those memories

    Crackers, you were such a massive part of our family, and the best ever neighbour. Omg, we had so many laughs we all loved you to the moon and back. I know Pat is waiting for you with a beer in hand and I can see the two of you reminiscing about the antics you got up to and also the help and support when needed. We are going to miss you so much, but blessed to have known you. Thoughts always from Lyn, Brad and Rhys

    Crackers, such a good mate to all us . Many great times spend together that are never forgotten. Fishing trips that had me laughing all day. The fishing part was not the highlight and didn’t need to be usually the trip home was.
    Cheers Bud

    Didn’t know you for long Cracks, but I’ll cherish those drives to Te Awamutu with the “beer drinking music” cranked up. Rest easy brother and Rodger that.

    Crackers! Mate!
    My condolences to your family at this time. Absolute legend you were. Always cracking a joke and having a laugh.We could always hear you before we could see you. And that roaring laughing of yours. Thank you for the short but good years at Mitre10. Working alongside you was always guaranteed to be a good time with plenty of laughs and always living life to the absolute fullest.
    You will be missed mate. Mitre10 Cambridge will never be the same without you. Rest in peace crackers.
