Wayne started out as a customer and became the best friend anyone could have. He would do anything for a friend and always made you smile and fell better about yourself. Our love and prayers are with Pat, Tim, Allison and the entire family.

We first met Wayne when he put siding on our house in the cold of winter in 1979 all by himself. He was a gentleman and worked diligently, never asked for anything and I kept bringing him something hot to drink while he drudged through the snow, did an excellent job. It was an honor to have known him. Our prayers are with all of you!

We at Allied are saddened by this news. The common theme in our office was if every customer was as understanding as Wayne the world would be a better place. He always made you feel better about yourself. We will miss his stories,his laughter and his friendship. Thoughts and prayers to Pat,Tim,Allison and the rest of the family. Hope your drives go for miles up there buddy.
