Passing of Wayne Martin

[Dragon 1]

My god I was just contacted by Teddy Jacobson from Action by T he is home recovering from a very bad sickness.  He called early today in the AM and was very upset he had just learned about the passing of Wayne Martin a gunsmith from  NAA.  Teddy has much respect for Mr. Martin that says a lot coming from Teddy.  I am very sorry for Mr. Martin and his family he did some guardian custom work on my 32acp and 380 acp when Carl retired from NAA out of there custom shop.  He was very nice guy I would always see him at shot show big loss all around good person when dealing with NAA.  Sorry to hear such bad news

No freakin' way. Omigosh, that's sad. Wayne was just 4 months older than me. He's been at NAA for forever. Met him quite a number of times when I went in. I'm sure he'll be missed. Funeral was two day ago on Friday. Condolences to him and his family, both by blood and those at NAA.

Wayna was the first gunsmith I met at NAA, back in about 1999. I took in a Black Widow with the bore off-centered and he personally took it out to shoot it, outside of work on his own time, to check it out. He confirmed there had been a problem with it during manufacturing and he replaced it under warranty. NAA wasn't just his job, it was a part of who he was.

I hope nobody minds if I post this link and picture.

Be grateful for every day, every hour, every breath, especially those under your own power.  None of us ever know which will be our last on earth.

Condolences and prayers to his family.  I pray they will understand God's Will in this and know that he is better off now.

I didn't know Wayne, but it's clear that he was way too young--and it sounds like he touched a lot of people.  Very sad ...
My most sincere condolences.

I was blown away early today  myself when Teddy Jacobson called me at my house in Florida because Teddy time zone is different  must have been 6Am in Texas.  It was 7AM in Florida I thought it was the alarm company calling for a break in at my shop Teddy told me the upsetting news.  Wayne helped me out on personal guns and help out my customers with there NAA rev and pistols.  I will sure will miss him and seeing him at shot show sorry to give everyone such bad news.  Wish could it  be like hey check out my new Ranger nothing yet SOB one more great person gone sucks for his family right around the holiday and so young  again sorry for him and his family god rest his soul.
