Reddog1 "Wayne"

Wow.

We lost a really good person, when Wayne died. He was a friend and mentor, in addition to the many things he helped me with personally. We exchanged emails often and I was lucky enough to be part of his personal email list. But what made him very special to me, was being able to meet him twice and stay on his property once, where I also met Jim (BigFootFord).

The forum here was a family for me, for a very long time. Most are gone, scattered to the winds. I will miss Wayne, but I am better for meeting him and many of you out there too. God Bless Wayne, my heart breaks for his wife, family and friends.

Thank you too, Jim, for sharing this loss with all of here.

RIP Wayne. This is so sad to read and I remember when BradW passed the Mod torch to him. Yes, he was both helpful and considerate and his presence will be missed.

Sad news, RIP Wayne, I learned a lot from your great posts and insight.

Jimbo, Thanks for sharing - I only met him once at Scotts Lake, but I’m better for it... Like the rest of us, Dear Wayne was just passing through this ‘molar world’ and making a difference while giving life his best shot...A demonstrable role model who put service to others before himself...

Oh, No, He always gave great advice and was very helpful. RIP Wayne.

Today we attended a family gathering to remember Wayne and his goodness! Just family. It was a wonderful remembrance of who he was as a person. He is missed by all of us...

Let me tell you that the hours our TC forum moderators put in to do what is needed and is not for the faint of heart! Wife n I have traveled and camped with Wayne n wife a lot over the years. If there was internet he was on being like a Sheriff in an unruly town..hahahaaa The TC forum was like that in the 90's!

He was devoted to the job, no compensation what so ever, not even a thank you from anyone. All of the Rv.net Moderators receive no compensation!


Here is a great picture of him at it as I walked in after we settled and got set up to enjoy the surroundings!

BradW...

Very nice tribute to Wayne.

Very nice statement and philosophy with regards to forum moderation.

The soul of my last living relative caught the same flight as Wayne did, on July 1, pushed off of this planet by the same disease, cancer.

This reminds me that I knew more people who are gone... than who remain.

RIP Wayne.

Bigfootford, thanks for posting the photos of Wayne. That is just about how I pictured him. I wish I had met Wayne in person over the years I knew him via the forum.
