My heartfelt condolences to Wayne's family, prayers and love.
I met Wayne when I was a sub teacher and he was in my classroom.
I remember it was coming up to the Christmas Holiday, when one day in our classroom, Wayne start singing these words...I'm getting nothing for Christmas, all I want is my 2 front teeth.
He always had something funny to say.
Down through the years, after I was no longer in touch with him. When we did meet again, he and Betty, ( his late wife) were biking. Since Betty and I became friends I would see Wayne often. He was always kind to me and always had something to tell me. Last time we talked he got on to me about not being home so zI could get what he described, some BIG BUFFALO FISH,he had caught just for me. That was about 2 weeks before his demise.
I miss seeing Wayne and listening to whatever was on his mind to share with me. God give peace to this family. I love you all..
