Thank you for the notice, Dave. Wayne's 73 Magazine and Byte magazines were instrumental in my technical education and a great influence in my younger years. As I'm sure they were on many, many others. Wayne would surely have been looking forward to the "next great adventure."

I just received this: 
 
Wayne Green passed away this morning in a peaceful,  
painless transition from this life on Earth.  
An eternal optimist, and one who loved to share  
his neverending zest for life, he was a friend  
to many and will bemissed greatly.  
Wayne was not afraid of dying and was very much ready to  
embark on his next great adventure to the afterlife. 
73, 
W2NSD (Sept 3, 1922 - Sept 13, 2013)

I met Wayne Green and spoke with him many years ago 
in Las Vegas; mid-1980s.   
We spoke of my experimentation with Longwave, 
which was just beginning.   He was very positive and encouraging 
to a then-young ham who had been told by just about everyone else 
that it was "a waste of time."   I went on to be the first to break  
1000 miles and first to break 2000 miles on 1750 mtrs and  
I credit, in part, his enthusiasm for trying new things that  
I kept at it until it "worked." 
He was also the first editor to ever buy a piece of mine. 
 
The Almighty keep you and comfort your family, Wayne. 
We'll miss you.
