Wayne Mayes

As many of you know, Wayne Mayes was burned in a gun powder related accident. I do not know the particulars other than that. Several skeet friends have posted or sent texts. I have included a post from Todd Bender here:

Todd Bender Wrote: Wayne has 3rd degree burns over 65% of his body. First surgery scheduled for Thursday, if he stabilizes. Life threatening at his age. Time for Wayne to win again!

Wayne is absolutely the Larger than Life Ambassador of NSSA Registered Skeet. His accomplishments can not easily be measured and some could likely not be matched. And on top of all that he is just a great down to earth guy.

Please pray for Wayne, Linda and their families through what is likely going to be a tough HOA Championship for Wayne Mayes

In Memory of

Thomas Jefferson Root Jr.

July 2, 1924 - February 3, 2013
Thomas Jefferson Root, Jr. died Sunday, February 3, 2013. He was 88, a native of Little Rock, Arkansas and a resident of Old Jefferson Community Care Center in Baton Rouge. He was a retired Superintendent of Construction for Jacobs Engineering, and had also served as manager of Hunter's Run Gun Club for several years post retirement. He was a WW II Navy veteran. "Tommy", as he was commonly known, had a very sociable and outgoing personality that was well known amongst his friends and family. Of his many abilities, one he was especially proud of was skeet shooting, an activity in which he was a top competitor and champion for many years. Survived by his three daughters; Janice Bordelon, Diane Viney and husband Steve, and Cindy Gonzales and husband Stephen; eight grandchildren, Tammy Pusch, Amy Pusch, Brandon Root and wife Vicky, Brooke Bordelon, Stephanie Blanchard, and husband Brian, Jillian Gonzales, Brittany Bordelon, and Matthew Pusch; and several great and great-great grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his wife, Zola Lewis Root; parents, Thomas Jefferson Root, Sr. and Dora Hughes Root; brother, Donald Eugene Root; son in law, Gerald Bordelon, and great granddaughter Kyra Root. Visiting will be at Ourso Funeral Home, 13533 Airline Hwy., Gonzales on Saturday, February 9, 2013 from 1:30 pm until memorial service at 2:00 pm. Visiting will resume after service until 3:30 pm. He will be buried next to his wife in Port Hudson National Cemetery. The family wishes to extend special thanks to St. Joseph's Hospice and Old Jefferson Community Care Center for all their support and care.

Hello to all at Hunters Run,

I'm not sure if this should be addressed to Gary or not, it's been quite some time since I have corresponded with anyone from the gun club. However, I just wanted to let everyone there know that my father, Tommy Root, died Sunday evening (the 3rd). He was 88, and a victim of Alzheimers.

I know Daddy was well known in the skeet shooting community, and I was hoping someone from Hunter's Run could let everyone know of the upcoming Memorial Service for him. The information is as follows:

Ourso Funeral Home
13533 Airline Highway
Gonzales, LA 70737
225-647-8608


Date and Time: Saturday, February 9th, 2:00pm There will be a brief visiting period from 1:30 - 2pm, and then some visiting time after the memorial service.

One of the items I will have available for people to look at is a scrapbook I made of the many newspaper clippings, awards, and photos of his skeet shooting career, from his days with the Baton Rouge Gun Club up through his final days of competition in the Veterans' Division.

Sincerely,
Cindy Gonzales
