I am so sorry to hear of Wayne's passing. As you said, he was a blessing in your life. Remember the stories you created together and farm such that he would be proud. Blessings to you and Molly. RIP Wayne.
Sorry for your loss Ben. You are blessed to have had this man in your life. And he was blessed to have you. It is Obvious that you love him and he loved you. I know it was not by Mistake that you too met. I'm a old man now but I had old men in my life growing up who Taught me many things that I still used today. It's going to take a While to get used to him not being there. But you will you will get to a time you can Smile when you think of him. God bless you. R.I.P. Wayne you left this world a better place for being here.
I'm so sorry to hear the news about Wayne. He reminded me so much of the farmers I grew up around and learned so much from. It's so hard to say goodbye to the people that influence our lives. Praying for you all.
Ben and Molly. So sorry for the loss of such a great friend. You’re a good man. Yep they don’t make em like they used too. Keep him in your heart and he will always be right beside you. It was nice to see you got your favorite picture of the year with him one last time. Keep the videos coming. I am not a farmer but enjoy all the things you folks go through. You guys are definitely entertaining 😅
I was not expecting that news. I never met Wayne, only knew him from what I saw in all your posts when you would have him in them and still I knew there was a man to be revered and respected just as much as I respect you. I’m 67 years old and my youngest is just a few years older than you but I have great respect for you because you are a humble man with a wonderful wife and great friends that we get to watch on your channel. Thank you for sharing Wayne with us because he did have an impact on me. My thoughts and prayers will be with you.
Wayne seen that you had a great heart from your first meeting and you would spend 3 hours visiting with him. He saw that you had the right character and wanted to see you to succeed. Life’s funny because here you think that he helped you but he knew that there was going to come a time when he needed you so it all works out. Bless you for being Wayne’s friend and being wise enough to accept his offer. He will be missed but he will be shining down on you and your family. Now you will have to add to your list of chores to keep his ditches mowed ❤
My condolences to you and Molly. We were truly blessed to have shared a small part of Wayne’s life. God puts people in your life that you would never guess would put you on the path you are on. Please keep sharing your journey. I look forward to your “wave” as I go by. If you know what I mean.
Sorry for your loss. I'm glad you got thru your story about him. The world needs more people like him. Keep plugging along and keep up the good work. 👍
In the next video, I want to know how many times you've picked up your phone to call him?!?! One of the first couple videos of yours I saw was birthday cards to Wayne a couple years back. It was really touching.
So sorry to here about Wayne he will be greatly missed did he have a kids i hope you keep all the mowing done you know he will be looking down and seeing if your keeping up with the mowing
Sorry about your loss Wayne. Keep the good memories Ben that keep you going. thanks for the sharing the video about Wayne nicely done. prayers and thoughts are going out to you and Molly through this tough time.
thank you for sharing, i know that was tough to do. trust this 82 year young man you meant more to Wayne than you can ever imagine. 50 years from now you will understand. thanks forthe videos
My condolences to you Ben, Molly, family n friends of passing of Wayne. I remember stories, eating horseradish n where’s Bandit, it’s unfortunately our closest to our hearts are not around with us for the rest of our lives been there seeing our ups n downs, especially bumper crops. My 🙏 n thoughts are with you all.
A life of fulfillment and purpose right until the end. No loneliness as many of our older folk experience and that has got to have extended his life and brought him joy.
Ben,It just goes to show how someone can come into our life's and become so meaningful to us. Memories will keep him close to your heart. Blessings 💙🚜💙
I’m sorry to really hear that. I know what you mean. I had a friend like that. I never finished high school and stuff and I had to work my butt off but I had a job because I didn’t have the education but he led me in right direction.😊
Sry for your loss bud, men like Wayne are tough as nails, them old timers were the hardest working men around, thanks for sharing ben, the last 10mins of video was pretty dang good
Sorry to hear about Wayne guys 😔. In the same kinda way, an elderly neighbour of ours got me into gardening/ landscaping when I was young by letting me use her garden to grow stuff. Little things can have a great affect on a young person’s life. I’m glad he got to see his final harvest with you Ben. RIP Wayne, keep your fuel tank full and your mower rolling
Very rarely does a relationship like the one you and Wayne had form. The man knew after a short time you were worth his time and effort. One of my best friends was 20 plus years older than me and he just passed away recently. I knew from the first time meeting him we would be very good friends. I'm sorry for your loss Ben, Wayne was one of a kind.
So sorry to hear of your loss of Wayne 🙏He will be missed and remembered by many !! He must have seen something in you that even you didn't know, but you will and he will be Proud
My earlier post was before you gave us the sad news, I'm sorry for the loss but your memories of the good times y'all had together are many I'm sure. Thank you for sharing him with us, we were blessed to have gotten to know him a little. 🙏
Ben, It was truly touching watching you share some of your many memories of Wayne. I have loved watching your relationship with him grow over the years. He was a great man in your life and I know you will honor him well with your life. Prayers for you, Molly, and all that loved him.
What an opportunity to have Wayne as a mentor for the past ten years. Use the tools and past guidance he left you as a base to keep being great. You’ll succeed and then some. Cheers Ben.
I love hearing about Wayne and your memories! You can surely cherish those forever. I can see how he inspired you to farm. You and Molly will always remember how he helped you get started in farming.
we just lost a great farm over here in huntley illinios Dan Fruin i believe to be the hardest working farmer in the area never stopping he will be missed by many my condolences to you .
Sorry for your loss. Always enjoyed seeing you with Wayne. Reminds me of myself and my gpa (who passed away earlier this year). Going to the farm just isn't quite the same these days but I know he would be happy that I am continuing on farming for him...Wayne will happy and proud you are doing the same for him. Thoughts and prayers All the Best.
I’m so so sorry Ben. You brought a lot of joy to each other’s lives. That was so hard to watch. What a Blessing he was. He saw in you what I see in you. The drive & will to succeed. He prepared you to take over his work & complete the job like he would.
Beginning of this video was one of your funniest. Andrew and Colt are such RUclips gems! Wish i could work with people like them. Then, the second half of the video is the saddest you have posted. My heart breaks for you, Ben. How wonderful it would be, to be as cherished as Wayne was in your heart. You both were so blessed to have known each other. ❤
Sorry to hear about your loss,hes there by your side,He will always be in your heart and mind, I know it hurts when someone close to you passes away,you STAY STRONG not for u but for him
What a treat it was watching Wayne getting up in the combine with you! From what I have seen and listen to you talk about him he seemed like a really good solid man and it's always hard when they move on! From my family to yours we send our thoughts and prayers! Rest easy Wayne and I bet he pulled up a chair and is chatting with the big man upstairs!! Thanks for sharing this with us and wishing you all the best my friend!!
So sorry to hear about Wayne passing. I'm so glad that he took you under his wing for the last 10 years and Y'all became so close. I'm glad that you have been there for Wayne these past 6 years. Prayers 🙏
So sorry for your family's loss Ben . I hope you take this statement in the right way but from what ive seen you probably gave Wayne a purpose and i think you probably added years to his life b lue dog definitely loved him too .
I always enjoyed seeing Wayne in your videos. I know you were very close to him. We will all miss seeing him in your videos. Prayers to you and all of his family. 🙏🙏🙏
Sorry to hear about Wayne. The good lord put him your life for a reason and he was a good man. Just keep telling stories and remembering him. And try and out work him
Sincere sympathy to you and Molly, Bandit and Lola May in the loss of Wayne. I always enjoyed when he was in your videos. He was quite the Wayne. You were fortunate to have him in your life and you in his life. Prayers to you.
Sorry for your loss. When things get complicated/difficult, just ask yourself "What would Wayne say" I am sure Wayne will be hootting and hollering when you hit 70k and again when you hit 100k.
Sorry for your loss. I'm 81. As you might expect I have lost many loved ones and other friends. It never gets easier, but it is the natural cycle of life. Every living thing dies. Some of us will be famous, others will just pass through...but each of us will effect those around us in some way. You were lucky because you knew and loved Wayne and he knew and loved you. That made both of you better people. He will remain in your heart forever. Now it's up to you to pass that on. Thanks for sharing that with us.
Ben and Molly I am truly sorry for your loss, but just remember a wise man told me that a mentor comes along once in a lifetime and Wayne was great people. God Speed Wayne!!
So sorry for Wayne's passing! We enjoy your content (including the pumpkin patch stuff) but we will miss seeing Wayne. The relationship you and Wayne had, has always been obvious to us! He may be gone but will never be forgotten!
I'm so sorry for your loss - Wayne was an amazing guy. I always enjoyed it when he joined you in the videos in some way...from riding along with you, him out mowing or checking in on you, to getting a haircut from you! Just a blessing to see the relationship and mutual respect and love you shared. Memories you will forever treasure. And the fact that you have so much day to day footage of him that you can share with your family as you and Molly grow it is another beautiful thing. Cheers to that 80 year old teenager that the Lord placed in your path! God moves in and through people in some amazing ways that leave us enriched. You've captured some amazing memories and I'm thankful for you sharing with us!
So sorry to hear about the loss of Wayne! Always enjoyed seeing him in the videos!
So sorry for your loss. Praying for y’all.
Glad to see Wayne got his last ride in the combine. A constant smile while riding with you. God bless you for making him so happy..
The level of respect shown by Wayne and you to each other was awesome. We all need someone like both of you in one's life.
