My deepest sympathy to all of you. I have such great fond memories of your dad. One of my most memorable ones is when he and my dad would go rabbit hunting in the snow, tracking them. The best part was eating them with biscuits and gravey. RIP neighbor

I really liked Wayne. He had this gruff exterior but inside he was a kind and gentle man. He loved the Lord and he loved his Christine and he loved his kids. He always supported me while I was his minister, even if he disagreed with me about something. One thing about Wayne, you always knew where you stood with him! His honesty was refreshing. God’s blessings to his family.
