Has anyone done any business with Quads Unlimited lately???

I was looking for information regarding Wayne and found this tread.

I am very sorry that Wayne lived in the U.S.  Wayne had suffered from fainting spells for a period due to an undiagnosed heart condition. He had no money to access medical care and eventually those fainting spells lead to a major heart attack.

As I understand it, the lack of oxygen to his brain had a cumulative effect, along with the massive damage from the ultimate heart attack. 

I spoke to him months after the heart attack. His medical bills were crippling and he had no money for the follow up therapy he should have received. I tried to help him with various issues he had with his very old Honda, but I could tell he was in terrible shape, mentally, emotionally and especially financially.

If he lived in Canada he would have simply walked into any hospital, or rode in an ambulance for free, and would have been taken care of and eventually walked out with no money owing. Wayne would also have been able to access free therapy for his brain injury due to oxygen starvation.

I find the cold hearted comments about his character rather deplorable but also stereotypical of American attitudes I ran into when I dated a lady in Texas. I was taken aback many times by people's attitudes about rights to medical care and their fellow citizens.

It makes me very sad to hear of Wayne's struggles having become insurmountable and that he became homeless over a basic thing like a heart attack that most people in the rest of the developed world would have not comprehension of.

I am so sorry this was the way a talented person would experience life when he needed help.

RIP, Wayne.

How dare you?? I’m so glad you tried to help Wayne with his old Honda. I could have bought him 10 Hondas with the money he stole from me! Let your socialist medicine take care of addicts like Wayne, and watch your money go down the drain trying to help this poor soul! I won’t criticize our Canadian friends, I suggest you do the same!!! 

I’d also suggest you don’t date American women if you think that gives you the right to stereotype American attitudes!!! 

Just saw all this. I'm a Quad 57 owner. Never worked with Wayne. The poster above is correct: The US healthcare system is a disgrace. So many go bankrupt when the cards turn. 

Wayne rebuilt my ESL-63s  in 2017.  The first thing that happened was he said my Quads had been damaged in shipping.  It was never clear what happened. As our relationship progressed I began to wonder if that was his way to extract extra money from me.  We exchanged dozens and dozens of emails over the course of the rebuild and became what I would describe as friends.  He told me about his nearly daily trips to drug rehab, for example.  But it was also a very worrisome period for me because he was taking “forever” to complete the rebuild and there were attempts to charge me extra.  When I finally got  my Quads back and listened to them I nearly shouted out loud with joy and excitement at how wonderful they sounded. All the worrisome issues faded away instantly..   I meant to keep in touch but I never did.  I feel so sad that he had so many insurmountable problems with his health.  
 

in reading over this thread it appears that I was among the last group of customers he must have dealt with!  I feel incredibly lucky that my Quads were treated to his expertise.  And most importantly that I got them returned to me finished and sounding exceptional.  I don’t know what sort of “magic” he put into his rebuilds but they were apparently exceptionally musical as a result of his expertise..
