I was 3 or 4 years old when I knew Wayne. He was such a great friend to my uncles and dad. I use to think he was my uncle too. He was always such a sweet person and at the time he was just a kid himself. I remember he use to sing me a song about jungle animals which made me laugh and feel so special. He was truly a special guy. God bless you and your family at this time.
Sincerely,
Sharon Urban
