Craig Walsh (CW member 'Craigos')

Son Of Coco · 13-03-2012, 05:41 AM

Hey guys,

Was just over at Craig's Facebook page tonight to see what the big fella was up too as I hadn't heard from him for a while and found out some devastating news. It appears he was hit by a car out riding on the 11th of February and has passed away.

Vale - Craig Walsh

Just shattering, met up with Craig on the Gold Coast a couple of years back and he was truly a lovely bloke.

R.I.P mate, wish I'd have caught up with you again recently.

No words. Was a champion bloke, one of the best.

Rest in Peace Craig.

morgieb · 13-03-2012, 05:48 AM

Jesus christ. Absolutely shocked.

RIP

Burgey · 13-03-2012, 05:48 AM

Nooooooooooooooooo

Oh **** no. No no no no.

I met him last year in Sydney when he was on his way back from a trip. This is awful news. Oh ****.

****. Can't believe this. Vale Craigos. A good man. We laughed with him and at him too.

RIP...

To his friends and family
(Craigos would appreciate that).

I was wondering who would be the first..

Craig.

****ing hell that's terrible.

Was thinking the other day that I hadn't seen him in ages.

Met with him and Richard a few years back when he visited the UK, was a very friendly, softly spoken and engaging guy.

Really saddened by this. Absolutely horrid news.

Holy ****, awful news. We didn't exactly get along but never bore him any ill will. R.I.P.

sledger · 13-03-2012, 05:54 AM

Ha, funnily enough, his exchanges with you F00lins are probably some of my fondest memories of him actually.

_Ed_ · 13-03-2012, 05:55 AM

Oh, wow. Stunned and really saddened to hear that news. RIP, Craig.

NUFAN · 13-03-2012, 05:58 AM

That is completely awful news. He seemed like such a nice, caring bloke who didn't take himself too seriously.

RIP Craigos you will be missed.

Saw this on his FB too, incredibly sad news. Sickening feeling how it happened as a fellow road warrior too.

redhotchilipepa · 13-03-2012, 06:04 AM

I'm very sad to hear this; he was one of my favs on here. Seemed like such a genuine, caring and friendly person.

RIP mate.

I couldn't believe it when I saw it. Had to read it three times to make sure I wasn't getting confused and it was actually someone else.

G.I.Joe · 13-03-2012, 06:08 AM

This is shocking news. Unbelievable. I only knew him online, and he was such a friendly and champion guy. As Burgey says, laughed with us, and provided us the laughs. Always hoped he'd be back on CW from his self-imposed exile. Devastating news.

RIP Craig. I'm glad to have known you.

Nnanden · 13-03-2012, 06:13 AM

That's absolutely terrible.

Thoughts and prayers are with his family.
