We lost Wayne Tinker Feb 2025

[sprior]

For those of you who enjoyed @Tinker's posts and stories, we lost him this last February. I hadn't been in touch with him for a few years but I had met him here and he lived nearby and my wife and I had the pleasure of going out to dinner with him and his cute wife Brigitte.

From all the things he did and accomplished in life he always had a relevant story to contribute. Will be missed.

RIP Wayne, we will miss you and your great stories. You have accomplished many things along the way. A wealth of knowledge that you shared with us.

Many years ago, Johnny RoundBoy and his partner (Kate) made a wishlist trip to New York City and I went to meet them along with several other FOG members and took a trip to the Toolnut. Wayne was part of the group. What an interesting guy, and the stories he could tell. Even at that time it was very evident that the years as a mason had taken a physical toll, but you couldn't tell by the look on his face and the stories he told. I know that I looked forward to reading his tales here. RIP Wayne!
