Thinking of you Heather and family with the recent sad loss of Wayne. He has been such a great friend of mine for the last 45 years and I am going to miss him so much especially our weekly phone catch ups. We shared some great music memories and moments together over the years.
Unfortunately we are unable to attend the gathering at the Masonic Hotel on Sunday. We will be there in spirit.
Thinking of you all at this very sad time.
R.I.P Wayne (me `ole son)
Love from Brian and Debra Jones
