The World's Most Interesting Man: Wayne Green (Wayne Green passed away Sept, 13, 2013)

I am very sad to hear of the passing of my great friend, Wayne Green. Wayne and I spoke often, he was always there for advice or just for a fun talk.. great man.

"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 be missed greatly. Wayne was not afraid of dying and was very much ready to embark on his next great adventure to the afterlife."
