Wayne and family - I am so sorry for your loss. A parent should never outlive their children....I cannot even imagine what you are going through. Wayne....you probably don't remember me; I grew up on the corner of 4th and College and hung out at Arnot Park. My sister, Carol Masker, told me that Chris was your son. I now live in Florida but still read the Star Gazette everyday on line. I didn't know until last night that Chris was your son. My praryers are with you and your family in your loss.
