Oh I have slipped the surly bonds of earth And dance the clouds on laughter silvered wings. Upward I climb amidst the tumbling mirth, Of sun split clouds, doing a hundred things You've never dreamed of. Wheeled and soared and swung, High in the sunlit silence, hovering there I chase the shouting winds along, And hurl my eager craft through footless halls of air. Up, up, the long, delirious, burning blue I top the wind swept heights with easy grace Where never lark or ever eagle flew And whilst, my silent lifting mind I trod The high untrespassed sanctity of space Reach out my hand, and touch the face of God RIP ETH

I'll be out of town, otherwise, I'd probably try to get up there for this. I'll remember to say a prayer for our friend. I wish I had known him better. Rest in peace, Wayne. |
I cant afford to attend but please extend my condolences to his family. When you raise a glass, and I know you will, please imagine me there with you all. |

I've been without internet for 2 weeks because of moving and I had no idea this was going on! I met Wayne one time at the big town gun show and he found a buyer for the gun I was trying to sell. He also gave me some free legal advice over the phone and via IM a couple of times. He was a first rate stand up guy who contributied greatly to this site. Dammit the screens getting blurry.... must have something hooked up wrong... farewell Wayne.

I prayed for his health this morning and just now signed on to discover this. I am deeply saddened but, nevertheless, His will be done in all things.
Our brother Wayne certainly believed these words, as do I. My prayer now is for the comfort and peace of all who knew and loved him. Rest in peace, my friend. |

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever. Psalm 23. |

Being pretty new to the site and the community, I can't say I knew him well, but in the short time I've been here he made quite an impression. Always funny, well liked, and I don't recall ever seeing a post from him made in anger. You will be dearly missed Wayne, even amongst those of us that hardly had a chance to get to know you. |

ETH and I didn't always see eye to eye. But, he believed in what he believed, and was steadfast AND passionate in that. I respected that, and I respected him. Moreso, he always made me think, and question my position. Even more, he always seemed to make me chuckle.  A Good man, he was. I know that he is in a Wonderful place with the Savior he always held dear. Rest In Peace, and know that I lift prayers up for family, and extended family here at ARFcom. Godspeed, ETH, you will be missed. SG |

I never met Eric the hun but I would like to send my prayers to him and his family. Jugding greatnest of a person can be told by the friends and people he touched. Seeing this sight and the posts of thoughts and prayers.....He was a great man. I preffer think that he and scooter have gone on ahead to setup the range for us all. RIP

I never met Wayne, and based on the hundreds of posts (in this thread and the other one) it probably would have been a positive experience had I done so. Back in 1999/2000 (under a different name), when this board was an entirely different place, I had several and direct thread contacts with Wayne. I can honestly say that despite differences of opinion and beliefs, he never got personal and always retained a sense of humor. More of us should aspire to be like that . . . . . . . . hoping you are in a better place now. RIP. FaceTime |
