Wayne I fell in love with you the first time I met you fifty plus years ago. When you asked me to dance that first night we fit together like two puzzle pieces. I loved you through the good and bad times. Thank you for making my life complete and for the 3 children we were blessed to have. I am only so sorry that your health prevented you from enjoying the last years, and we were never able to have that last dance. Love, Nancy

What a fond man and a person who gave his time to volunteering at the Bonita Springs Lions Club. We will miss his dedication to helping others through his service.

Our thoughts and prayers are with all the Gehrke Family. We are so sorry for your loss. I have so many fond memories of the whole Gehrke family, playing, block parties, baseball at Lincoln, and just good times. Your dad will be remembered by me as a nice man. God Bless.
