I remember Wayne well, we were neighbors for a number of years on 27th street in Marion, Iowa. We were a close net group and did a lot of things together, including volleyball. Im not far behind, Wayne, so see you in heaven, assuming you are there and I'll get there.

Wayne was a friend and neighbor when the family lived in Marion. We had a wonderful neighborhood. He and my husband had a friendly football rivalry. Wayne was Viking and Russ was Bears. One Sunday Wayne came to watch a game in a Viking hat with a garbage can lid as his shield. So funny! So sad to hear of his passing.

These past months I got to go visit with Wayne . We would mostly talk about sports, watch NASCAR , talk about family, I’d show him pictures of my trips to TX . He even started asking me how I was doing in my pool game . We had both been Minnesota Vikings fans . I didn’t know till recently Curtis and him told me he switched . After my last visit last week I told him once a Vikings Fan Always a Vikings fan. He smiled I’m pretty sure I convinced him . I wish I would have visited him more often...
