IN!
I'm at work, and I'm in pieces after reading this thread. Can't stop crying. Had great times with Wayne at West, South's, Bright Times, he was always someone I could ask a favour of, bounce an idea off, or just sit and chill for a while.
He drew up the idea for my 2nd tattoo, so I'll always have a reminder of him, but I'd rather have him back to be able to give a hug to, and just be...See you slackers at the reej tonight to raise one for Wayne...

Oh no....
What sad news...
What a great bloke...
My favourite Wayne memory is being passed by him on my way to Dunwich a few years ago. He was with the CS Grupetto massive, we chatted along the lanes of deepest darkest Essex until the inevitable dropping of me by him occurred. Only for us to be re-united again at Dunwich where the CS massive shouted 'do a skid' in unison - the ultimate LFGSS welcome to Dunwich !
Peace and love to his family and friends.

It’s hard to add to all the wonderful things that have already been said – so much love for Wayne! He made lovely screen prints and once spent an afternoon talking me through his portfolio (over very good cofffeee) at his place, so that I could select some for an exhibition. In the end we included three of his brilliant, bold wrestling masks, one of which was his avatar on here for so long. Wayne was a creative, genuine, kind human and he will be missed dearly.

One of the most decent, witty & warm men it has ever been my pleasure to share a road or a coffee with. And a proper bike rider too. Miss you already.

It's just terrible to lose Wayne, to sudden death of all things. I'm sure he was younger than me, too. Such a lovely man. I respected him hugely and he was a major reason why it's such a great forum. I always thought of him as having excellent judgement and much wisdom, with him usually being a few steps ahead, one of the people the world relies on.
Everything he designed for the forum is a classic and even if nobody had ever met him that alone would have ensured he was going to be remembered. He seemed to have this instinctive understanding of design that I imagine few can match--pitching it just right, never over-designing, making the things he did easily understandable while still making them look good. (In saying that, I can't claim any particular design competence, but it all worked for me and I tried to learn from him--so much stuff gets designed and Wayne's work always stood out.)
I'll miss you much, big chimpmaster, may you find not only the grup(p)etto but the best gruppo in the sky.
