The one time I met Wyane was at the last Gunstock.
I had a hell of a time riding on the hay trailer with him and watching him hold court. I had planned to make several of the last Hun Farm get togethers and kewpt putting it off b/c there was always something more important. We also had our discussions about legal stuff like Corp. v. LLC ownership of NFA weapons and such. I obviously waited too long! RIP Wayne. It was a pleasure knowing you for this brief time. |

A warrior poet with the heart of a lion, the voice of a prophet, and the spirit of a youth. You would not meet him without a smile on his face, his arms extended for an embrace and the glee in his voice at your appearance. He will be sorely, deeply, missed. TRG |

He was unabashedly unabashed. He could wax philosophical on any subject you could choose. He never met an enemy. He had a smile in his voice and a wickedly sharp sense of humor. He was generous and kind. You could disagree with him, but it didn't diminish your friendship with him, for he knew that friends were more important than opinions. He was a consummate host. He was thankful for what he had, and I never heard him complain. He had a deep and abiding Christian faith.
But all these phrases are parts of the whole man, who could never be summed up in words, although we will try our best because we loved him. |

Wow, I made it through this entire thread and all the others without shedding a tear, until this post. Sad as it was to read about, I really didn't know him. What you just said about him was very touching.

Please pass my deepest sympathies along to Wayne's family.
Wayne was one of the people I always wanted to meet of those here. I've missed his presence here lately, and morn his passing now. Heavenly Father, Thy will is done, on Earth as it is in Heaven. Into thy loving arms we send our dear friend Wayne. Please Father comfort those he left behind. Give them the strength and courage to weather this storm. Show them Thy love and mercy. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen. |

If anyone in the know and wouldn't mind posting the funeral arrangments and detail. I am sure I am not the only one that would like to pay his last respects since I did not get a chance to see him in the hospital.
It would be much appreciated. Thank you. |

Sincerest condolences to The Cobb family
May the peace of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.. comfort and give you all His strength This is a very sad day for all of us...most of all for Wayne's family....His loving wife and children. Wayne is with Jesus now...who he loved and worshiped and graciously witnessed to others about... Always a defender of Christ and a very ardent and knowledgeable bible student..... The world is a much sadder place...but Heaven gained a great saint.... Wayne led and kept his family and led many others to Christ and is among those who by faith were found pleasing to God... His friends and family can take comfort knowing that God's promises to those who love Him are true and that all in Christ will one day be re-united for eternity... never ever.. to be separated from their loved ones again... There is great sadness in life but great hope in Christ... For God so loved the world, that he gave his ONLY BEGOTTEN Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (John 3:16) |

I met Wayne at the Hun Farm. It was if he knew me his entire life. We were pretty close in age and he and I laughed and talked and enjoyed each other's company.
A year or so later, the only year I missed the Hun Farm Spring Event I called Wayne about bankruptcy, as I knew it was his specialty. He spoke to me on two occasions returning my calls and never mentioning one time a fee for the advice. And good advice it was.... I was broke and traded with a local attorney and Arfcommer for services and didn't use Wayne. Wayne was going through his troubles at this time, broke, debating on selling the farm..the whole bit. He never asked for anything from me, though he could have and I would have given. I did at the next event I attended, give him what I thought was fair. He tried to push it back, but graciously appreciated the payment. Wayne always made us laugh. He took our good-natured "Let's clear the brush" around the cabin ribbing. He fought for no crap (chairs) in the fire pit.... He genuinely loved to see people enjoying themselves and it showed in his demeanor. I have cried off an on all day, and will again. Me and the Swampthing will be attending the funeral services and Swampthing is very sad too. A funny thing two years ago at the Hun Farm I sat and spoke with Wayne. He explained the history of the farm to me. He said "It's really the Teague farm from my ancestors named Teague" I looked at him in amazement. "The Teagues from Tennessee?" I asked "Yes Randy you look shocked". I then explained that my grandmother's maiden name was "Teague". That part of the family moved here from Tennessee in the 1800's....we figured we might be long distance cousins....damnedest thing. I'll miss you cousin. A more generous, genuine, sincere, human I've never met or heard of. R.I.P. |

Only met him the one time, last may at the Schutzenfest.
I Thess. 4:13-18 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words. |

I only met Wayne twice and both times were at The Hun Farm. He was one of the most hospitable people that I have ever met. Wayne went out of his way to make me feel welcome my first time at the farm. We have lost a person who I think embodied the spirit of Texas. He was hospitiable, wise and proud of his deeply rooted Texas heritage. This is a sad day.
RIP Brother Hun.

Wayne was a friend to many of us. His wit, his smile, his laugh, his willingness to enrich every single life he came in contact will be missed. He was a man who lived to put a smile on the faces of others. Always at peace, always with the best intentions, he was a central figure for the Texas crew and for many of us close to him.
Anyone who ever had the pleasure of his company came away a with a bit of him in their soul. Wayne's light must continue to shine with the help of all of us. He leaves behind nothing less than an uncountable number of lives which were touched. It's within us to continue to share his free spirit and laughter with the world and improve each life we encounter. Rest in peace my friend. |

I don't have much room to speak about the man. I never met Wayne in person. Heck, I never much interacted with him on the boards more than a few times.
But I do know that i'll miss his wit, and his stories. I've been reading this board a long time, and I feel bad, somehow, that i'm never going to read another post authored by the man. He could always make me smile, even when following the most venomous of the petty arguments that we get started here. Somehow, things just won't be the same without that. My prayers go out to his family, that the Lord may comfort and keep them in this time of need. I pray that He will ease their pain, and help all of us to make peace with the idea that Wayne has moved on to his place in the company of the Lord.

after numerous phone calls from WAHTF members and TXFTF members I finally got back to my computer.
Wayne, thank you for the very brief time that I was able to spend with you. We can all see from the outpoaring of love and admiration that you were not only a friend but a family member to many. You will be missed, but will never be forgotten. Wayne, now that you are home, pull up a chair, give scooter a long missed pat on the head and grab a windex margarita. We will all see you soon enough. Bryan (already missing a true friend  ) Zielinski

If the true measure of a man is the number of people who love him, you Sir have proven yourself a giant among men. I'll be seeing you.  pc (the deeply sadened) sutton |

I have so much that I would like to be able to say about my dear friend, Brother Wayne Henry Cobb, However, I can't seem to summon the will to stop these tears and bring forth the words to do his memory justice at this time.
Another member IM'd me, and asked for the recipe to Wayne's Windex Margarita's so he could hoist a few in Wayne's honor. Wayne loved to serve these margaritas to his friends, and it is my distinct honor to share this recipe with all of you. As taught to me by The Master himself, EricTheHun's World Famous Windex Margarita 3 parts Jose Cuervo Margarita Mix 1 part Gold Tequila (Cuervo or Sauza) 1 splash Triple Sec 1 splash Blue Curacao (When it looks like Windex, you've got it just right) 1 generous wedge of lime, per glass, fresh squeezed. Ice - Wayne prefered his 'rita frozen, but when served out at the Hun Farm, on the rocks was tradition. I'll be listening to Pink Floyd, sipping on a Windex 'rita, and wishing I had a fire pit in my back yard... D(It'sDifficultToTypeWithTearsInYourEyes)Peacher |
