Very sorry to hear of Graham's passing. We will always remember when Croc blew up a fallen tree on our property in Makahu. It was across a stream and he had a mate with him who asked how he was going to get the explosive into the trunk. Croc gave his mate a nudge and he fell into the stream. Croc immediately said " while you're in there you can organize it"
A great sense of humour from a great man

My condolences to the family on Grahams passing.
One of my favourite memory´s from my child hood was a party at the Candys place where us kids rode the sheep. Frightening but fantastic. Graham was a true hardcase with the best laugh and great smile.
R.I.P Graham.

Sorry for your loss. I have some great memories of Croc! Especially with the digger and his ability to make everyone feel so welcome in a third half celebration! He was a lovely man who was always very kind.

to Hayden Diane and to all of you and yours- condolences is just a word, yet I guess it is the best we have got. Your dad has reached the end of that long and winding road, and I imagine has done it his way and on his terms. Hayden your words say so much, as do the last lines in the paper notice. Thinking of you now- may the peace of the Puniwhakau be yours at this time, and hold you all in the palm of it's hands- Ina and Malcolm
