Concerning Wingrider

[ADMIN]

Dear Members,

It is with great sadness that I inform you of the passing of Wingrider.

He was a treasured member of our forum, and in addition to his exceptional contributions here, was a great friend to many.

May he rest in peace.

[Chris]

Sorry to hear that. He's been missed for some time.

[Trinnity]

Damn. I feared he had. I will miss him.God bless you, wing.
ADMIN, I liked your idea of putting his initials in the header of the forum. I hope you do that.

Indeed, I have done so.

[countryboy]

Didn't know him well, but he was obviously well loved.

Rest in peace Wingrider. Prayers of comfort going out to all of his loved ones.:(

[Calypso Jones]

Can you give us a little more information? Like when he passed. Where? Is it possible to get a note of condolence from members to the family? I'd appreciate any information about the man. He was God fearing, knowledgeable, humble, a warrior. Any info is appreciated.

[ADMIN]

From what I am told, Wingrider passed in October. Very little information was relayed to me. I have had no contact with his family, and wish to respect their privacy. I sent several emails to his account over the course of his illness which went unanswered, and if I ever do receive a reply from the family, I will of course let the membership know.

Godspeed, wingrider. Rest in peace in the arms of a loving God.

Standing. Hand salute.

To one of the ones who was there for me, a long time friend, wise man of God, may you rest in His arms and one day we will meet. Love you my brother. To the family if they read this, he will never be forgotten and my condolences.

[KC]

I didn't know him very well but he was loved and will be missed by many on these forums.

[Deadwood]

I had little time to know him, but what I did know I respected a great deal.

His passing is sad.

[Shoot the Goose]

Haven't been around much, and just caught up on it all. I was wanting to tell Wing "you ain't dead yet", but mercifully, it was pretty quick as such goes.

You are now one of our better angels Wing. Save us a couple warm seats next to you. Maybe a whole row ! We'll be along soon enough.

See you then friend. In the meantime, give the big fella a nudge in our favor when circumstances dictate. Be diplomatic, naturally ....... :)

Oh wow that's terrible!! http://thepoliticsforums.com/images/smilies/newsmilies/shocked.gifhttp://thepoliticsforums.com/images/smilies/newsmilies/sad.gifhttp://thepoliticsforums.com/images/smilies/newsmilies/sad.gif

I didn't know him long, but I knew him well enough to know that he was a very kind and outgoing guy. You didn't have to be around him long to know that much. He will definitely be missed.

R.I.P.

[Captain Obvious]

Just seeing this now, I'm very saddened.

RIP Wing, bud.

[Carygrant]

A nice and well intentioned guy .

[Jenda]

Just seeing this thread today. :(

May WR rest in peace.

[pjohns]

I am just now coming across this thread.

I am saddened by the loss.

[Conley]

Rest in Peace Wing, I'm a better man for having gotten to know you beyond politics... a lot to say but I can't find the words :(

Godspeed to the Angels

[RollingWave]

Rest in peace

[Trinnity]

Note the WR in the header- up there on the right under the 3 stars....admin put that there in wing's honor.

[bladimz]

I'm way late on this, and i really didn't have much interaction with him. But i understand that he was a great contributor to the forum, and many people here liked him a lot.

I am sorry to hear of his passing. May his travels be pleasant.

[Conley]

Wing and I shared some good books...we weren't the same politically from what I could tell but that didn't matter -- we each respected the others opinion. That can be hard to find online or even in real life, we lose sight of that...but that human connection is what its all about IMO

[Conley]

Wing bump

[roadmaster]

I miss talking to him.

[Trinnity]

I miss him too. <dang>

[Conley]

Good to see he is remembered and thought of often...

[Trinnity]

Who could forget him, Conley. He was a gentleman and a dear kind soul. The world needs more people like him.

[Common]

Rip WingRider youre in good hands. I obviously didnt know the man but just by the responses here from his friends you can feel what type of person he was.

[Conley]

Love that he's in the header...it's a reminder

[RtWngaFraud]

Who was he?

[roadmaster]

Who was he?

A good friend of mine for many years and a mod here in which I always thought he would make a great one and he did.

[Trinnity]

<deleted for wing's sake>

He was a good man. Kind. Considerate. He cared about the members. People couldn't help but like him. I will always admire him.

Trinnity please don't use this thread for that. Thanks.

[Trinnity]

I have no idea what you're talking about.
