I've conversed with Dick about the passing of Wayne. However, my condolences also go out to the rest of The Ledford Family. I'm sure that Peanut and Milton Hall are looking down on us while they're playing

My mainstay for 14 years has left me and I am not sure how I will cope. Wayne was a good person who helped so many in so many different ways. It was so hard to watch him get sick and it will be harder to go on without him but the Lord has special plans for everyone and hopefully his involves softball. Be at peace Wayne, we will miss you and see you again soon.
