I called Hamilton Lane for Wayne today to catch up - didn't realize that it had been so long since we talked.
I was shocked to discover that he had passed last March.
I first met Wayne back in the mid 80s when we were both peddling "tax shelters" at EFHutton during the glory days - still remember the party for Disney's Silver Screen LP.
He was always a helluva good guy! Smart,honest, dependable.
We lost touch for years and then our paths crossed again a few years ago -- he made it easy to pick right back up again as friends.
I will really miss him.
All the best to Nancy and his family.

I was shocked and saddened to hear such news - I couldn't work that day. Wayne's passing is truly an asset lost to the global private equity industry. Wayne not only succeeded in his business, but also succeeded in the ultimate life's challenge - affecting people wherever he went. He somehow leaves footprints into the lives of those here, you and I.
I still remember the time meeting Wayne back in April 1997 when I first joined the Asian Venture Capital Journal as a junior journalist that couldn't tell the difference between an LP and a GP. He taught me all the acronyms and the true meanings of the private equity business. He went out of his way to draft my first story, to which I was amazed there's such a helpful person in this business. He would even twist the arms of his colleagues and GPs to get them speak at conferences that I was organizing over the years. Wayne soon became my mentor and speaker adviser to Asian private equity conferences around the world. Over the years, our path would cross somewhere around the globe and he would always make time for a "cuppa coffee" as he would call it, to see a small potato friend, like myself.
It is an honor to have known such a high profiled - but yet, such a humble kind hearted man, who treated people of all levels with respect. He certainly played an important part in my early professional career life and I thank him forever on that. I recently visited Hamilton Lane's office in London and it was strange without Wayne's big bear hugs that he usually offer.
God bless, peace to Wayne and his daughter. Farewell my friend.
Sincerely,

For all the laughs you gave me over the last 20 years.....for all your teasing....for the famous shanked 7 iron I hit out of bounds on the last hole of your Member Guest tournament when we were in contention....for all the political discussions and our not so politically correct views...for all the support and love you gave me and the patience you showed to my friends seeking your help.....for all the times I woke you at 4 am in Europe with my phone calls when I just could not get the time change right.....for giving me the pleasure of hearing your laugh....and the way you said "Buddy...." will ring in my ears forever. For all that I say thank for being in my life.
Wayne was an important person to me and the big brother I never had. He will be missed, but his love and humor will live with all of us forever. Kiss little Caroline for me and while you are at it give yourself a big man hug from me. Much love to you Nancy my prayers are with you.

Hi Wayne
Next week is the Cobblecreek golf
tournament that you so proudly won not so long ago. My driver Alan works this event and I thought of you immediatley
Still thinking of you. I know you will be watching.

I met Wayne when I was working with Goldman Sachs in London from 2002 to 2004. I was new to marketing private equity funds and while Wayne worked for a competitor, he was always generous with his thoughts on the market and often gave me leads on new investors coming into the asset class. He literally took me under his wing and helped me a great deal and was always generous with this time.
Wayne and my wife both grew up in Chattanooga, Tennessee, and we live there today. That gave us numerous topics to talk about when we ran into each at conferences -- the fortunes of the "Tennessee Vols" football team, local high school sports (particularly the McCallie-Baylor rivalry), the beauty of the Tennessee mountains, and the ongoing redevelopment of the city. Wayne traveled all over the world but he was at heart a Tennessean. His eyes would light up when we talked about Chattanooga.
As the guest book entries show, he had the remarkable ability to relate to a variety of people, actively listen to what they were saying, and develop very strong bonds. He was a great communicator, a wonderful spokesman for the industry, and a tremendous resource for Hamilton Lane.
I thought Wayne might return to Tennessee one day but he is there -- and in many other places -- in spirit. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and his colleagues.

Getting to know Wayne was easy. Getting to like Wayne was even easier. Forgetting him will be impossible.
I will always be thankful to have known him.

God bless your soul Wayne ! You are dearly missed.

Our lives were enriched by his sense of humor, his generous spirit and his kindness; we will miss him deeply.
Wayne will be remembered as a friend and business colleague but particularly for his extraordinary courage and love for his family.
Gone but never forgotten.
Bob and Denis

Wayne, In the short time that I spent with you, I got to know you a bit, to respect you a lot, and to like you a tremendous amount. I will miss running into you in all the corners of the world and my life will be a lot poorer because of that fact.

Wayne Arrburrrr ! Only you will understand this !
May the sun shine on you
May the wind be always at your back
May the rain fall full upon your fields
And until we meet again, my friend
May God hold you in the hollow of his hand.
You were my friend.
Philip Swire (Fiona and the family)

Nancy - our hearts and prayers have been with you during this difficult time. Wayne will be seriously missed by all who knew him. We know your faith is strong and that you truly have two angels in heaven watching over you now. We'll always be here for you.

I remember with great fondness and a lot of smiles our days in Sigma Chi at the University of Tennessee. May God grant peace to you and your family.

Dear Wayne,
It's too late for me to hear that you have passed away.
Why did you leave us too early? Did you forget that we were supposed to meet again this coming August?
It's truly unbelievable.
I miss those days back in 2005 when you visited Korea and had meetings with me and Korean institutional investors for days.
I also remember the moment when I heard the news from you that you lost your lovely daughter right after you had gotten back to New York. That made me feel so sad.
And now, this makes my heart broken.
Your passion and the great sense of humor will last forever in my heart.
I will pray for the repose of you.
Please rest in peace.

L. Wayne, our five or so years together in Miami aren't much to talk about-- though there's plenty to laugh about. Yet, of all the things I think about you, one thing I believe with all my heart to be true. If there was ever a threat to my life and you could defend me, I believe you would fight for me to your death. Some might consider that foolish. And, you and I have done some foolish things. But Jesus said: "Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends." (John 15:13). You are that type of friend. Love, Brad.

I have always believed that true success is leaving this world better than you found it and Wayne was very successful. I truly enjoyed working with him at Hamilton Lane. I feel very fortunate to have known Wayne and will miss him dearly. I find comfort in knowing that Wayne is with his daughter Caroline and that they are in a far better place. My deepest sympathy to the family. Wayne, see you later. D.

I was a classmate of Wayne at the McCallie School. I will miss him, and keep Nancy, Jayne, Phillip, and John in my prayers.

Wayne was one of lifes special men. Ever loving, funny, charming and thoughtful.
In my time and travels with Wayne, his unique way with people always struck me.Disarming and cosiderate, he was always able to make every second worthwhile and make everyone he met feel special.
There is a place in my life that will forever be empty for the lack of him. My thoughts are with his family.

Well, old friend,This is a new one for us.We always knew the other was there, no matter how far apart we were.Just a phone call, a re-connection to a beloved friend, and I know you felt just as I did.
I can not help but smile at all of the memories of our adventures and mis-adventures we shared.I will cherish them forever.
I guess I know you are still there, buddy.Thank you for that.
You rest with your precious daughter, my friend,and know that I love you and miss you terribly.

Wayne will be sadly missed by many at SJ Berwin. He was a client and a friend, and brightened many dull days. Condolences to his family. Our thoughts are with you.

Wayne, You were a great friend, always there to give me great advise and to talk about what is happening on the International scene.
I will truly miss our phone conversations. You always gave, unselfishly, of your time no matter whether it was 2:30 am in Singapore or 8:00pm in Victor,NY.
You are now reunited with your lovely Caroline, so with that we have peace and happiness.
We will miss you dearly "Good Friend".
God Bless.

Over the past few weeks I have given much thought to our relationship with Wayne. Most of my thoughts don't adequately describe our feelings.This, I feel,is as good as I can do. A mutual friend recently reminded us of a wonderful explanation of one's "rank of respect" in the south. Wayne once said,"You see, down south children are taught to treat adults with respect.There are three levels of respect. When the kids know you somewhat, they call you 'Mr. Smith'. If you become a family friend, they call you 'Mr. Mark'. But if you touch their lives in a special way, they call you 'Uncle Mark'." My entire family was very fortunate to have known Wayne Harber as "Uncle Wayne". Wayne you were a true friend and we will all miss you.
I would also like to be included in your foursome and at times, your fivesome in heaven! May God Bless your entire Family.

Wayne was a very unique person. He was friendly to everyone on our golf course, not just the good golfers like himself. He could bust my chops and make me feel good about it.
I will miss you Wayne and your great sense of humor and your friendship.

Wayne was a wonderful of uncle. While we rarely spoke, one thing that was never in question was his love for his family and our love for him. He will be remembered by his loved ones as a man with supreme dignity along with a beautiful sense of humor. I hope he realizes that his family loves him with all of our hearts, and that we will miss him until we see him someday. Wayne, just remember that your nieces and nephews love you, your sissy loves you, your brother loves you, and the rest of your family loves you. You will always be missed. Our family thanks everyone for their support. To see how much Wayne meant to everyone is a testimony to how great of a person he was. We love you Wayne-O.

Good bye my twin - Hold Caroline tightly in your arms and kiss Daddy, Mama, Goggy and Papa for me - I know you are at peace now but my heart will miss you forever - May God bless you -

I didn't know Wayne, but want to send my condolences to his family. I am sorry for you loss and wish you the best at this time.

As first cousins gowing up in different states, we really didn't get to know each other that well, especially after adulthood, but I still feel a "Harber" closeness and bond, from all the stories that were told to us over the years. Now it's your turn to hear all those stories you missed out on over the years. I'm sure you've already hooked up with your, Aunt Patsy, Uncle Harry, Aunt Dick, Uncle Britches, and Uncle Wayne. Not to mention your Daddy and sweet Caroline. God has already blessed you richly.....sit back and enjoy the most beautiful place in the world. Tell Mother and Daddy that Melanie and I miss them very much, and all of us, your cousins, brothers, sisters, and friends from around the world we will continue to keep you alive in our hearts...forever and ever.

"You're in the arms of the angel,
may you find some comfort there."

These lyrics from Sarah McLachlan remind us that Wayne is securely and forever entwined in the arms of an angel. May those of us who are hurting and grieving so much right now also feel comforted by our own angel and a blanket of grace.

"UNCLE WAYNE" - How sad we are to have lost yet another wonderful "Harber" family member. You will be truly missed, but by the grace of god you can be with your precious Caroline and watch over the rest of your family who will forever have you in their hearts, prayers and their every day existence. Farewell to an extraordinary man!!

Wayne was one of my first bosses and I feel so lucky to have had the opportunity to know him. I was deeply saddened to hear that he passed away...I still can't believe it. He had a zest for life that most people search for their entire lives. I always looked forward to when he would call into the office to hear about his exciting adventures. Wayne was always so encouraging and had a smile that exuded warmth. Wayne, I will really miss you and will never forget all that you have taught me.

Wayne and Caroline, it was a great gift to know you both and we will always miss you. Your memories will be with us and you are always included in our stories.

My family and I have just returned from one of the saddest weekends of my life. What a loss we have all suffered. I have just finished reading all of your messages and my heart has been moved by each of your thoughts and memories. Thank you all. We have all lost a good brother.

Wayne was truly a wonderful guy. He did keep us all laughing and on our toes wondering what was next during our years at The McCallie School. My family will keep Wayne and his family in our prayers.

Hearing about Wayne's death this morning was a terrible shock. The messages are quite a tribute. Wayne was a great fellow, kind, funny and generous. Johnny, Jayne, Phillip and all Wayne's family - you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Wayne and I were classmates at McCallie School and University of Tennessee. He was a special and unique person who made an indelible impression on those he met. His passing was quite a shock to me and he will be missed by many. All the best to Wayne's friends and family.

Wayne was one of my first clients when I stated my private equity career: he was wise, helpful, insightful...and of course very, very funny. Over the years since then he always made time for me and I will miss his company on the PE circuit. A huge, huge loss to our industry and an even greater one, I'm sure, to his family and friends.

This is very sad news, indeed, for Wayne was a delight, a good friend and a true leader in our industry. He will be sorely missed. Deepest condolences to his family.

I had the chance to meet and start working with Wayne in 2000, shortly after he started with Hamilton Lane. The thing that amazed me most was how unassuming he was, and never let his position go to his head. Always a level headed man, he had this way of making you feel that he truly cared about what you thought and would help you in any way possible. The world lost one of the good guys, and we will all miss Wayne. Hopefully, more people will follow his lead and take work in stride.

I would like to express all my sympathy and sincere condolences to Wayne's family, friends and colleagues from Hamilton Lane

A legend in his own right and a figure in the PE world. He leaves us to enter another world.

Wayne was one of the first people I met in private equity, and from the beginning was one of the most helpful. We kept running into each other in unlikely places around the world, and it was always fun. I will miss the nightcaps at the hotel bar, and I will miss talking to a good friend. His death at such a young age is unspeakably sad.

Dear Wayne,
Thank you for having been a great business partner and a great friend. We will miss you terribly, but I know you will be looking after your family and friends from up there.
Your friend,
Taka Go

For nearly 20 years, hearing,"Buddy!" on the phone was the opener to a great story and lots of laughs.
No man had more friends nor loved his family more than Wayne. My heart goes out to you, Nancy, your family and to Wayne's for your loss. Peace to you all.
His passing leaves a void that his Stone Pine Companies and FFCA families will feel forever.

Our deepest sympathy goes out to Nancy and the family and of course his collegues at Hamilton Lane. Wayne will truly be missed by all of us here. I myself will miss his stories, laughter and comments. We spent alot of miles in the car and I will be looking in my review mirror for his smile.

I was deeply shocked and saddened to learn of Wayne's passing. The private equity industry has lost a true friend and one of its best loved characters. My sincere condolences to Wayne's family, friends and colleagues. I will miss you.

What shocking news! Wayne was a pioneer in the business and a real fun guy to be around. He was always a gentleman, a great ambassador for HL and a helpful mentor for newcomers to the p.e. world. My sympathy goes out to his family and colleagues.

Seeing him not at the Investor Forum in Geneva where he was registered, I got a shock when being informed by Duke that Wayne had passed away and his sudden disappereance makes me very sad. I saw Wayne for the last time in Tokyo last November where he was as always full of energy and explaining his projects for the future.
On behalf of the whole EVCA Team I would like to express all our sympathy and sincere condolences to Wayne's family, friends and collegues from Hamilton Lane.

While Wayne was always more than ready to ride off into a new and different sunset, we say goodbye with deep sadness as he embarks on this next great journey.
Unforgettable. Irreplaceable.

I speak for all of us at Campbell Lutyens when we send to Nancy, to Wayne and Nancy's wider family, and to Wayne's bereft colleagues at Hamilton Lane our prayers at this time.
We have worked closely with Wayne for over ten years. He was one of the truest of personal and professional friends. Intensely interested in the people he met, he took time to care about the lives of others and the challenges we all face. Just over two years ago it was the turn for our hearts and prayers to go out to Wayne and to Nancy. Now it is on Nancy alone that those thoughts are focused.
Wayne was in the real sense of the word, unique. We cannot think of any other person who could claim to have established such broad and deep personal relationships within the worldwide private equity community. Wayne, we will miss you very deeply.

John Campbell

My deepest sympathy and sincere condolences for the passing of Wayne-san to his family, friends and colleagues at Hamilton Lane.
We have always been helped and impressed by his professional support.
We have respected his tireless spirit, nifty footwork and great wit.
Wayne-san...we will miss you.

Wayne you are at peace now with your beloved Caroline.
Our weekends will never be the same. 4 - 10's, your ugly Orange bag, coins to mark your ball from strange lands and your white socks.
A true friend you are Mr Harber.
Save me a place in your foursome in heaven.
May you finally rest in peace.

We wish to express our sincerest sympathy to all his families and his friends/colleagues following the death of Mr. Wayne Harber.
We feel very sad to hear the news of his death and we are with great regret that we lost such a trusted and capable business partner for Sony Life.
Our thoughts and prayers extend to you and his family at this time.
May his soul rest in peace.

We at SCM had the privilege of knowing Wayne for the last 10 years.
He has offered us many valuable advises and has shared his knowledge when we were in our start-up phase. We also had the opportunity to get to know his cheerfulness and we loved to listen to his uncountable travel episodes.
Beeing an unknown person to us some 10 years ago he became a friend whom we will sadly miss but we are thankful that we had the chance to get to know him so well.
May God's help be with Wayne's family and with all at Hamilton Lane in this time of mourning.

SCM Strategic Capital Management AG

I cannot believe that Wayne had passed away.
I remember his active attitude and dedication to work, with his large bag full of documents.
In addition he had attracted us by his natural warmness and charm.
I also recall that he showed his sympathy to me when he heard that I had fell down on the ground in New York.
It is a deep sorrow to see someone pass away and memories are like stars in the dark night of sorrow.
I hope the time may soften our pain until all that remains is the beauty of the memories.
Please accept my sincere condolences over the passing of Wayne.
May he rest in peace

I have always admired Wayne's unbelievable dedication to work, and unmatched warmness and charm that have attracted all of us. I am very honoured to have the opportunity to work with you even for a short period of time. I have learned a lot from you and I have a lot to thank you.

I was so shocked and saddened to hear of the passing of Wayne-san.
He was a really great supporter for us to establish our PEF program and we would never forget his smile.
Please accept my deepest sympathies and give my hearfelt condolences to his family.
Thank you, Wayne-san.

Extremely sad and Shocking.Wayne had been not only business partner but also friend. I had been much stimulated by his energetic and smiling guidance to establish a private equity fund investment program of the institution where I worked past 9 years. Thank you, Wayne.
Please pass my condolences to his remaining family.

My heart goes out to you Nancy. I hope you feel some level of faith that Wayne and Caroline are together watching over each other as father and daughter once again, while they also look out for you. My thoughts are with you and your family.

I will always feel a huge debt of gratitude to Wayne for his integral part in making Hamilton Lane such a success. He almost single-handedly established our international business and the extent of HL's global presence today is largely due to his incredible dedication and hard work.
Wayne was willing to go anywhere and do anything to promote the business, usually at great personal sacrifice. My fondest memories are of traveling with him in Europe--even after very long, busy days the trips were so much fun!
Life will never be the same without his infectious enthusiasm and energy.
Kelly Moylan
Co-Founder, Hamilton Lane

Wayne was passionately dedicated to his wife and daughter, family and friends, work and his beloved Vols. While his travels took him away for extended periods of time, we were always the lucky recipients of his trip updates -- which were full of hilarity and humility. The consummate and constant communicator, we will surely miss his emails and instant messages, but most of all, we will miss the part where he came home. Wayno - A dear, kind, generous,(and especially) sweet man.

On behalf of the entire Club, we send our deepest sympathy and heartfelt thoughts to the Harber family during this time of reflection.

As Wayne's Brother-in-law reading these tributes is very comforting & not at all surprising. We knew him as a loving, devoted husband to my sister Nancy, father to his dearest, Caroline & uncle to our children.
We also knew him to be dedicated to his work. He always spoke highly of all of you, and your contact made his many travels easier. We are thankful of the love of his many friends.
God Bless Wayne, now with Caroline.

I was saddened to hear of the sudden loss of Wayne.
We are thinking of his family and colleagues at Hamilton Lane during this difficult time and sending our deepest sympathy.
Wayne was a great professional, a truly friendly and warm person - always with a smile - and we have greatly appreciated his advice.
On behalf of AP1,
Sofia Ericsson Holm
Head of Alternative Investments

Wayne had become for me over the past years like family. We were closed pals and had shared so many travels and adventures together in the past five years around Asia and the Middle East. In any of our meetings, his presence and charm would just fill up the entire room. I will feel painly his absence.

Wayne was the first from the Hamilton lane team to come to Israel to meet us at Clal Insurance.
We are deeply sorry .

Wayne - i'll miss our conversations when trying to get through Peter... I'll miss knowing where you are in the world this year. I'll miss your laugh, and your smile.
Working with you was a great pleasure and one of your calls or visits would always brighten the day.
I will miss you.
Jody

At AP 7 (Sweden) we have had the pleasure of knowing Wayne since 2002.
We have appreciated his professional skills as well as his ability of creating a warm atmosphere around himself.
It is with great sadness we now understand that Wayne is no longer with us.
Our deepest regards goes to Wayne's family as well as to his colleagues at Hamilton Lane.

On behalf of almost all staff at AP 7,
Peter Norman, Executive President

Wayne will be sorely missed.

Wayne was a true professional and much respected by his friends in Canada.

A wonderful man . We will miss him.
