GARY HAAS

I will miss my brother in law, Wayne. I will miss the many visits when he would travel North to spend time with his brother Dean, me and his friend Ray. His first stop when he came into town, was to stop at Jozwiaks for their famous Wabash burger. He was a kind and generous man with a gentle sense of humor. I hope you are reunited with Dean and Lois and sharing memories.

Wayne was my uncle (my father was Dean, his brother). He didn't always have a lot to say, but when he did, he was sweet, and could always make me smile, and many times laugh. I always looked forward to seeing him when he would randomly surprise us with a visit. I will miss him, but I'm sure him and dad are fishing and having a Hamms together now.

Romans 5:8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

Wayne with his brothers Lee and Dean and sister Joanne.
This is a picture of Wayne and his bothers Lee and Dean and his sister Joanne. This was a picture taken when we were all together a few years ago. It was a wonderful time that we had together.

I meet Wayne back in the day at Midland Contracting Company . . . I worked seasonal June-August on several of the plant and road crews 1963/1983; and, Wayne worked in the office . . . Wayne has always been well thought of and held in high esteem by our family . . . Wayne was the best man to work with and be around after work . . . in all those years I do not remember one time Wayne complaining or pointing the finger at some one else when things weren't going so well; and, let me tell you...

Wayne was the sweetest kindest man I have known. I'am proud to have met him, and to have called him my friend. My deepest sympathy to his family.
