Dear Springer family,

I have such fond memories of Wayne from our younger years, and especially high school - whether it's that crazy cockatoo that he and Russ brought to school, or chasing the cows when they escaped onto Blueberry Lane, or the time I tried to follow him on his paper route so I could cover him for vacation (and felt like I'd run a marathon!) to all of the things he taught me about computers (as they were just coming into vogue), watching him solve any Rubik's cube he could get his hands on...and the lime green Mustang! So, so many memories to re-visit and cherish!! He will never ever be forgotten by myself or his peers. Please know that I am grieving with you
