Most of us have interacted with Wayne Hurlbert on Empire Avenue. His sister posted the announcement of his death on 10/14 on his facebook page. He was a very helpful player and was very active in the Empire Avenue Community. Not much is known at this time. But we was still blogging and investing through Monday morning.
This is the post of Steve Cassady in the EAv General Discussion area…
I didn’t know Wayne well, but he started on EAv in May of 2011 – a month before me, and was a regular, interactive participant. He will be missed.
Feel free to post a comment, tribute, or story here and on the discuss topic Steve Cassady started.

I specifically remember Wayne as one of my first big investors on EmpireAve and we had a few exchanges where he was always such a nice guy. So sad to hear the news, R.I.P. buddy 😦

I will miss him. I was shocked by his untimely and sudden passing. He was a kind, generous soul with great taste in music, and a great sense of humor. Rest in Peace, Wayne.

So sad to hear of Wayne’s passing away. I knew him since 2003 – online only — but a kinder person you may never encounter. I’d made a mental note to reach out to him shortly before his passing, but the next thing I knew he was gone. I’d waited too long, and I am very sorry about that. Condolences to all the friends and family who will miss him.
