I'm sorry to have to report that long time moderator Hallgator has passed away. Obituary for Lonnie Wayne Hall | Gateway-Forest Lawn Funeral Home Hall was the moderator who asked me to be a mod years ago and taught me the ropes so to speak. He was another person on this site who I never met in person but talked to numerous times and considered him a true friend. He will be missed.
Just no words. He thought he was improving and then there was nothing for days. So sad to hear this. He loved Gator hoops. Prayers for his family.
RIP. Always surprises me when the death of someone you've never met can impact you. Was a good dude and a loyal Gator.
Very sad. He always struck me as one of the most fair, level headed and nonpartisan people around here. RIP.
Holy crap. Knew he had health issues, but didn't realize it was anything close to this. A great guy and a stabilizing presence on Too Hot, which he obviously cared a great deal about. Damn. RIP Wayne
Hall has always been an inspiration for taking a level-headed approach. We'll miss you, brother! Go GATORS! ,WESGATORS
RIP Hall. Weirdly, we feuded more over basketball than anything on Too Hot, but he was always a good dude even when we were. I always enjoyed talking to him. He will be missed by this board and by me.
A sad loss, both for Wayne's family and his Gator Country family. I will miss him and the solid points he could interject into discussions on this forum. He was a fair man, a generous man, a man with vision, and an open heart and mind. In the past few years he has had some rough stretches with his health. May his spirit find the peace, solace and mooring he envisioned and expected. Via con Dios, Wayne Hall.
