Today is November 28th Thanksgiving day. I am thankful for having my Uncle Wayne in my life. I remember when I was car shopping and he help me find a nice car and really took the hassle out of searching for a one. I will also never forget when Uncle Wayne and Aunt Kathy picked me up. From the Montgomery/ Maybrook New York T/A truck stop a couple of times when I was an over the road truck driver. And we had dinner every time and it was great. You are greatly missed by all who knew you.
