Wayne will always be in our memory. We were very fortunate to have spend some time together during several private events at Dale and Debbie's house.
What we remember most about Wayne is his jovial nature. He was always a Gentleman and very special.
May his spirit continue to bring comfort and guidance to those who loved him.
With our sincere condolences,
Troy and Ingrid
