FIRENEWS.NET EDITOR IN CHIEF JEFF HARKEY
WILMINGTON - Wayne "Spanky"
Greer, Jr. passed away Saturday December 23 at his residence in
Wilmington after a lengthy illness. Wayne was a well known fire buff
not only in our state but around the country. He was a member of
many buff associations and was best known as a prolific fire
apparatus photographer.
As a tribute to Wayne, I have started an
online
gallery of some of his recent photographs that he entrusted me
with. These galleries will be uploaded in a series, as there were
many CDs he gave to me just before his passing. Wayne also shared
with me his patch collection, which we will also be uploading in the
future.
Rest in peace, friend.
