piisfish 140 #5 April 25, 2016 Oh no.... Sad news. Wayne the incredible sewing machine teacher.

billostrander 1 #8 August 5, 2016 I met Weird at Coolidge in the 80's, he taught me a lot about parachute rigging and Singers. He was and always will be part of what skydiving was for me. Post office box one! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mysky 1 #9 August 30, 2016 Sad news. Can someone explain what happened? There are 3 kinds of people in this world, those that know how to count, and those who don't. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
3331 137 #10 August 31, 2016 Tried to send you a Private Message but you've blocked PM's ? Wayne shot himself with a shot gun. He was having medical issues. There is a memorial service for him in Eloy Oct. 15th, it's posted on Facebook. "Celebration of Life for Wayne Snyder". I Jumped with the guys who invented Skydiving.

D-6723 1 #11 April 15, 2017 I will never forget his kicking the windsock while hook turning into the Coolidge hanger. Really impressive when he got it right (and yes he did miss on occasion). This was the late 70's and "Hang Load" on 33Z was the picture to have. Giles ran the DZ and Zing did his best to spot the C-54. Black Val, Slocum, Irv, Tom, Rick, Judy, and many other excellent people. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
