Uncle Wayne I will miss you very much.
I will always remember when I was a kid and he was in the Air Force and he stayed with us in California. He was so awesome in his uniform. and what a blast I remember having with him. As a kid I could then and now say he was a great influence on me.
When I was in the Army and stationed in Colorado. I was able to stay with him and his family while on leave.
Phyliss I'm so sorry for your and your family's loss. He will be missed.
