Not sure what to say?

When I got my first car I went straight to him, as my Dad recommended, he really cared about people, and always wanted to know how you were doing and what was going on with you. There were always block parties and lots of fun! I will always remember him fondly. I miss those days, God bless you Wayne, may you rest in peace. ...

Carole, John, Robyn, Your hearts are filled with grief with the passing of your husband and father. I´m filled with deep sadness as well of losing one of my best friends for over 50 years.

Dear Carol and Family, I am so deeply sorry for your Loss. Wayne was one of the most kind people I knew. He always share his wisdom with me about how I should run my agency at state farm. I will never forget him.

My deepest sympathy to Carole and the family. We´ve known Wayne for years and our sons are good friends. He was our State Farm Agent and was instrumental in helping my son become an Agent. Rest In Peace, Wayne. You will surely be missed!

Sad to learn of Wayne´s death. Wayne and I were neighbors, fellow members of Madison Square Sportsman´s Club, but above all, friends. My heartfelt condolences to Carole, to John and to all of Wayne´s family.

I am so sorry for your loss. John, Beth and Dona Kelley

I´m sorry for your lost sister, I love you praying for you and your family.
