Wayne P. Hawkins

My Mentor, My Friend, My Buddy

By: Jan Trader as read at his Memorial

----------

Wayne was a very special person in my life.

He was my mentor, my friend, my buddy.

I'd say…"I love you, Wayne."  He'd say, I love you too, baby."

 ------------------------

He loved his wife Jeanne very much and you rarely saw one without the other.

He loved his family and his close friends that he held dear to his heart.

He spent a lot of time working with his birds and the organizations such as the Carolinas Virginia Pheasant and Waterfowl Society and the American Pheasant and Waterfowl Society where he held Director positions.

From the time Wayne and Jeanne joined CVPWS they never missed a Saturday meeting until the last meeting in April. They were always there lending a hand with whatever needed to be done or whatever projects came about and helping those in Aviculture.

Wayne had a passion for flowers and plants as well and always shared them with his family and friends.

Someone recently sent me an email right before he passed away and while reading the message, it reminded me so much of my friendship with Wayne and I would like to share this with you. I have changed it somewhat, but the meaning is still there.

"People come into your life for a Season, Lifetime or Reason.

When you know which one it is for that person, you will know what to do for that person.

Some people come into your life for a SEASON, because your turn has come to share, grow or learn, they bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done before.

They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it. It is Real. But only for a season.

LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons; things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation.

Your job is to accept the lessons, love the person, and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships in your life.

They say love is blind, but friendship is clairvoyant.

When someone comes into your life for a REASON it is usually to meet a need you have expressed.

They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally, or spiritually.

They may seem like a Godsend and they are!

They are there for the reason you need them to be.

Then without any wrong doing on your part, or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end.

Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand; or sometimes they die.

What we must realize is that whatever our need was, it has been met. Our desire fulfilled, their work is done.

The prayer you sent up has been answered, and now it is time to move on."

----------

Wayne was my Lifetime and Reason Friend.

Thank you so very much for being part of my life.

Rest in peace my dear friend…I will miss you very much.

Jan

Dear CVPWS Friends

During a time like this we realize how much our friends and relatives mean to us…

Your expression of sympathy will always be remembered.

The family of Wayne P. Hawkins

I want to thank you for all your cards, calls, thoughts and prayers during this most difficult past 18 months of our lives. I know that Wayne is no longer in pain and in a better place. My comfort is to know that we will be united once again one day. I look forward to our CVPWS meetings in the future. Wayne would be so proud of the CVPWS Scholarship Program being named in his honor.
