I'll miss seeing him at Nashua and Devens. A great guy. Helped me quite a bit.
Condolences to family and friends. RickO
Dude was a young'un...RIP.
Wade was a friend of mine. I was just with him on March 10th at the Newport County Coin Club. Wade was a fine dealer and a good person. He will be missed.
Hate to lose a coin guy and a forum member. Condolences to the family.
So sorry to hear this news. Wade and I set up near each other at a number of NE shows in years past... Willimantic, Westford, Manchester... and had always enjoyed doing business together. He was a stand-up guy.
My very best to his family.
RIP
He was possibly my best friend. I am just heart-broken about this. I was texting with him when he was in the ER and the sudden turn in his condition remains shocking to me.
I would like to say more, but I just can't wrap my mind around it right now.

Sorry to hear the sad news. I never met him, but we shared a common bond with the Green Bay Packers. I would have loved to chat with him about football.

Condolences, sounded like a good person.
Sorry that I didn't know him. Condolences to all his family and friends.
Wow. I knew Wade and Rose mostly from the Albany, N.Y. coin shows. He was a very knowledgeable and fair dealer. The numismatic community has lost a good person.
very sorry to hear this. My sympathy to his friends and family. A sudden death in the prime of life is always hard to understand.
He looks familiar to me and I may have seen him at the local shows in MA or NH, but I did not know him personally.
My condolences to his family and friends.

My condolences to Wade's family and friends
Wow, that's a shame.
Wade was a fine guy. We hadn't done much in the last many years, but once upon a time we had constant dealings......
Rest in peace Wade........
That's quite a shock, only 58 years old. His currency holdings and knowledge were extensive. Just google his name and Heritage Auctions....
I just spoke with Wade a couple weeks ago, and was looking forward to seeing him in Willimantic at the end of the month.
I'm going to miss his 7:00am Sunday morning phone calls/texts telling me he's looking in a dealer's case and found something I'm going to want to buy, and he's always have it at his table for me when I got there. Wade was a wealth of knowledge and a great guy, and I feel lucky to have been able to call him my friend.
Here is the last note I purchased from Wade last fall.
If there's a coin show in the sky, I know when I go up to his table he's going to have a SN#1 large size national sheet behind his table waiting for me with a great story to go with it.
Sad!!! I just spoke with Wade at the February Albany NY show...great guy and I purchased some nice nationals from him back in the day!
