The modern age of technology allowed me the opportunity to, via regular never ending internet chats, get to know Craig. He was for me a true inspiration for opening my eyes to the wonderful world of 54mm model soldiers.
I will miss him immensely as I am sure will all those people who ever got to know him either personally or through Wilson Edward toy soldiers.
I learnt a lot from Craig, and although half a world apart in Latin America, his kindness and enthusiasm will be heavily MISSED.

Craig, we will all miss you mate, you will always remain strongly imbedded within our thoughts and memories.
Musically it was a pleasure to play along side you brother, personality aside I have never met someone so happy, gifted and passionate when playing music with either the Grinners or us. I only hope that your stint with us fullfilled one of your life long dreams as I know it did for Glenn, Rick and myself, although our time together was short, it will always be unforgetable.
Love to you always mate - Steve Harvey (Darkcide)

Craig mate,
A top bloke taken far too soon. I will always remember the Toy Soldier Dinner in Melbourne this past June when you and Leesa met up with Andy and Helen of King & Country. Your wit and viberance may the evening a great success.
I will always remember you as you will be a great lose to the Australian TS scene.
Cheers Howard, Donnybrook, Victoria
