After a short battle with cancer my dad (woodchuckfarmer) has passed away. He was loved by many in the Wheel Horse community. Thank you everyon who took time to talk to him and become friends with him. He loved getting on Redsquare and looking through old posts with lots of pictures. He loved going to the WHCC Show. He loved when him and I would tinker around the garage on tractors. He will be missed by many.

Rich, 

I am so sorry to hear of Wayne's passing. As I said on the phone the other night, your dad will be sorely missed at the Wheel Horse show and in our RedSquare community. I can't tell you the hours that Wayne and I spent talking at the show each year. He always had pictures of something I'd never seen before. Always a pleasure. 

My condolences to you and all your family.

I was so saddened to hear this. Seems like every time I was in PA I'd run into Wayne. Whether it was at the show or in Wellsboro, He always had to show me his new creation. RIP Wayne.

Peace be with you Wayne.  It was always a pleasure to see you and Peggy the 1st thing on Thursdays at the show.  I always looked forward to sharing that years Homemade Wine with you guys.  There will be an empty place this year at the Big Show my friend.  My prayers with you, Peggy, Rich and all.  I will miss talking horses with you Mate.  God Bless...Fair Winds and Following Seas.
