A Death in The WinCustomize Family (edited)
Our friend is gone......
Thursday, February 15, 2018 by RedneckDude | Discussion: WinCustomize News
Guys, it is with a heavy heart that I pass on to you that I just received a call with bad news.
Our friend, and long time helpful soul in the forums here has died at 2 AM, EST, Thursday, Feb. 15th, 2018.
Wizard1956 has gone to be with his wife in heaven.
Wiz was a lot of help here, and a long time special friend to me. He tested all my DesktopX stuff, and that is how we met. He and his wife, Theda have visited us here in Tennessee and we spent time with them in Illinois. We grew close over the years.
It has been discussed here in the forums that he had stage 4 cancer, well, tonight he lost a great fight. He was was told that he had until August 2017 to live. He made it 6 months past his expiration date. He always had his sense of humor, right to the end.
I'll end this announcement with a funny thing he said to me on my second visit with him in Illinois.
He wanted me to come visit him, but knowing I couldn't afford the trip, he offered to pay for my gas.
I said, "Randy, I don't feel right letting you pay me to come see you."
Randy said, "Don't worry about it. I'll be paying you to leave too, so it'll even out."
I loved his humor. I loved him, as a brother. I will always think of him as a brother.
I hope you all have a few memories to share here. He will be missed.

There are some people here who can be considered backbones of the community....
Wiz was the backbone....and the funny bone....
he really helped make this place for me....and I'm sure he's doing the same for wherever he finds himself now...

A wish was granted just for me
It could be for anything
I didn't ask for money
Or a mansion in Malibu
I simply wished for one more day with you!
One more sunset, maybe I'd be satisfied
But then again, I know what it would do
Leave me wishing still for one more day with you
One more day
I'd unplug the telephone and keep the t.v off
I'd hold you every second
Say a million I love you's
That's what I'd do with one more day with you
One more sunset maybe I'd be satisfied
But then again I know what it would do
Leave me wishing still for one more day with you
One more sunset maybe I'd be satisfied
But then again I know what it would do
Leave me wishing still for one more day
Leave me wishing still for one more day
Leave me wishing still for one more day with you.

Unfortunately, I never met you, as far away as you were. but I am in thoughts with you and your family. It is always tragic to hear when a human is walking away from us, I am sure that where you are now you were expected and received in love.
