Photo / George Novak Kerrie Maddox would give anything to have her husband tap her on the shoulder or pull her hair again. It was that cheekiness and sense of humour Kerrie fell in love with the moment she met Mike "Maddog" Maddox. She's still waiting for him to walk through the door after work. Tragically, Mike died in a head-on crash in north Waikato on Saturday, February 27. His motorbike collided with a ute on Kaiaua Rd, Mangatangi, near Miranda. He was meant to start his "perfect job" on the Monday after the fatal accident.
