My heartfelt sympathy to the Stafki family on the passing of Wayne. I just now was informed. I'm sorry I could not be there to say 'good-bye'. To hear his voice, one could not help but smile. I missed him when he left our dealership, but, I still smiled when he'd call.
The world was a better place because of Wayne.

Aimee as a friend of mine, I will always remember when your dad gave us rides to and from college playing those audio stand up comedians--it was hilarious!! Your dad had an awesome sense of humor.
