Wayne Nelson died this afternoon at 2:45pm. He was in his basement workshop, a place where he loved to be. He was always creating something there. We think he had a heart attack and died very quickly. Arrangements for his service will be made in the next few days and we will send the information out. Jo's boys and daughter-in-law are with her and we are supporting them in this journey. Duncan Holmes

I didn't know Wayne as well as I feel I know Jo, and my heart goes out to her. Jo, you are in my thoughts and my prayers, and I hope you feel the sharpness of your pain somewhat cushioned in the love of this community. When George died, I found strange comfort in a book by Joan Didion called "The Year of Magical Thinking". Nothing prepares you for the strangeness of that first year alone, but it is at least comforting to know that others have the bizarre experience of it that you quickly begin discovering. There were times I thought I was "losing it" because of the strange thoughts I would have or the dreams, etc. Perhaps you won't experience your loss that way, but many of us do. I grieve for you; I don't know that there is anything that can make it easier, but I hope everyone's love is a comfort.

Dear Colleagues Wayne was a great spirit man! Wayne & Jo followed us at Murrin Bridge HDP in 1981, after we went off to Hong Kong. During the three years they were living in that community Wayne mentored a number of the youth, instilling in them the belief that they could do anything. One of those in particular, Craig Cromelin is now one of the pillars in the Murrin Bridge community and has represented the south-western region of NSW on the NSW Aboriginal Land Council for several years now. Then this last year he became the Chairperson of the Council. He quite often stays overnight with us on his way from Murrin Bridge to Sydney when he is going to Council meetings. He has also represented the Council at forums of the UN on 'The Rights of Indigenous Peoples' in both new York and Geneva. He always gives credit to Wayne for the guidance he received from him. And we know that of course it was a team effort by Wayne & Jo and other staff who were in Murrin Bridge at the time, but today we are acknowledging this legacy of Wayne's care & passion. We are sure his spirit will live on in the lives of many whom he touched. Our love goes out to Jo and the boys and their family as they celebrate Wayne's life.

We hold all of us in our prayers and contemplations as we live facing more or less clearly the endings of our own particular lives. We focus special light on Jo, Aaron and Tim as they and we adjust as a revised blessed community. Wayne has honed and chiseled heart and rationality into some of our best models in facilitation, design, and community development. He has led much of the band width in our common technical knowledge and ability to work on line even before the new software emerged. He has been a sustaining support of the archives of ICA Associates from which we have all been resourced. He and Jo enabled the HDP in South Texas survive its many challenges. He lived his creativity whether in front facilitating or teaching the group, or more often from the back room creating the documents or designing the new product and discerning and fine tuning his human spirit.

Jo has asked me to send the following "I really appreciate all the messages through the two ICA lists, neither of which I am on. Would you please tell them I am deeply grateful for their thoughts, prayers, energies, and stories. I am harvesting tributes from their emails for the celebration, and I intend to respond more personally and directly at a later time." Duncan
Thanks for this, Duncan. Dear Jo, We are living this week in memory of Wayne, and have you and your family in our thoughts constantly, Jo. Our memories of my visit and stay with you in Toronto, and the courses and work on your book we did in 2000 are vivid. Equally memorable is the time you spent with us in Sydney at the ICAA meeting and the ICA colleague gathering which just happened on our lawn in Arncliffe. Wayne and your family is always remembered for your great gift to humanity in so many profound ways. Thankyou for sharing Wayne's life with so many of us. We celebrate his completed life.

I want to add some words to all the others that have sent good energy to Jo and family. I was impressed with Wayne's priorship when we were setting up a Town Meeting in Peoria during one of the summer programs. So focused he was. And Wayne followed both the Telfords and myself at Murrin Bridge, to which The Telfords have witnessed to his impact. He was fun to be with, this world has lost some good presence with his passing. God speed to his next dwelling place.
