so not gonna happen

man, I think he really did die :(

just look at the facebook links in jaymc's post. Wayne (real name Tom L0ftus) is friends with Ryan D1ehl and Jim L0ftus, and he lives in Upper Darby, Pennsylvania.

Thomas J. L0ftus, 57, of Upper Darby (formerly of Havertown) died in 2012 and was survived by his sons, Thomas S. and James P. L0ftus.

this church bulletin from Sacred Heart Church in Havertown mentions a March 21, 2014 mass held in honor of Thomas & Tommy L0ftus. a later bulletin mentions another mass held in honor of them (this one dated November 18, 2014). it would be unusual for a church service to be held in honor of a deceased man and one of his surviving sons, so Thomas and Tommy are most likely both deceased, and Tommy is most likely our Wayne L0ftus.

I could be totally wrong about all this, but it would be quite a coincidence if so.

I just wonder if WaynesCrew610 will come back

boy that macro meme poster thing is lousy

Could you express that criticism in the form of an image macro

damn.

unregistered is right

god dude, what? no!

That is really sad :(

Oh no, what a depressing ending for an historic thread.

Unless it did happen.

:(

who's Winans?

Could those masses be for the Thomas who died in 2012 and HIS father, who seems also to be called Thomas? (clutching st straws here...)

lol everyone mourning over wild internet detective infos

there was a similar bulletin from March which also listed Thomas and Tommy under Mass Intentions, so the November one couldn't have been for Tommy recently dying or anything. but the OP of the revive saying RIP Wayne doesn't bode well.

WHO IS THIS J0HN T@NSEY?

What if the said mass for him because he is serving overseas or something? Believe this happens

I keep coming back to "The Heardsmen"

diehl with it

this was the thread that killed him

diehl with it

B-)

quit researching my death

john tansey is one the names jaymc floated way back when

well, the grandfather (Thomas J. L0ftus) died in 2011, so that's a possibility, although it would be somewhat belated in the elder Thomas's case.

this is some interesting food for thought, Hammer Smashed Bagels — thanks!!!!! if Tommy is Wayne, then maybe the mass was offered for him because he had a lingering illness (or he was overseas, or...). but I still think it would be unusual to request a mass intention for a deceased person and a living person simultaneously.

obviously this all hinges on WaynesCrew610's "R.I.P. Wayne", so hopefully he'll come back and clear things up. apologies if my internet detective skills aren't up to snuff.

Sorry for being gone the last day, didn't imagine our comments would bring about such a revival of this thing.

:( condolences

I'm very sorry to hear this WaynesCrew, my condolences.

damn :(

Is Merzbow doing a tribute album like he did for Lolrus?

ILX should do a tribute album

what a sad thing. to all who (really) knew him, i'm very sorry for your loss

Indeed. Very sorry to hear the news, and condolences to all.

You guys were right. Loftus was a great dude and us, his friends, are a bunch of cunts. He was the kind of dude that would do anything for anyone and loved to make people laugh, often at his own expense. He was obsessed with this thread and would call us up when there was a rather amusing comment or picture left on here. We're sure he was just happy to be a source of entertainment for so many people. He was talented and caring and we were all lucky to call ourselves his friend. More to come guys, before Diehl found this thread again we had already planned on meeting up this weekend so when we get together, we'll figure out some good stuff to post here. Cheers!

awesome! looking fwd to you dudes posting some stuff

That's heartwarming to read WaynesCrew, cheers.

What - and please say so if this is crossing a line - happened to him? Was he ill, or did he have an accident?

Thanks, WayneCrew - great to hear from you and great to know he was following this thread as well. Very sorry for you and your crew's loss.

as someone who agonized at times over the years that tommy might have felt negative about this thread and specifically my posts (and extracurricular research) that is so wonderful to hear.

i'm glad he was a good friend and that you all had him for the time that you did.

looking forward to more stories!

Like everyone else I'm crushed at this news... heartened that Loftus enjoyed reading it though.

Tom Loftus is very much alive.

plot thickens

Or at least became more tasteless.

Wow. RIP.
