He will be deeply missed and we have very fond memories of him and his family. We will meet again Wayne and talk about all the things you loved to do.Your memories will remain in our hearts forever.

Wayne
You were a good freind. You were always willing to help me, but reluctant to except help. A true freind indeed. We shared alot of water together. I'm sure when I get there you'll show me where to fish..
Until we meet again may god hold you in the palm of his hand

I would like to share a memory of my freind Wayne
One night before a bass fishing tournament Wayne and I were sitting on the bank at Rosevelt lake, getting our gear ready for the next day. When we heard a large spash in the middle of the lake. I said "what the heck was that" Wayne said "top of the food chain"
I asked "what do you mean"
He said it was a Flat head catfish probably a 70 or 80 pounder and it could eat any fish in the lake.
being a bass and crappie fisheman I had never thought about it like that before, but could understand from then on why he loved fishing for (Flat head catfish)" the top of the food chain"
God Bless you
Bob
