Wayne -O always brought the smiles with him! And was ready to help anyway he could. My favorite memoriy of him was when he brought us a barrel of the biggest most juiciest peaches we ever had we ate everyone of them. And we got so sick!! But it was sooo good!! He definitely was one of the best friends to me, Norman,and he was so good to my daughter Lisa!! He can ride in the big brown van in the sky moustache blowing in the wind waving hi friends. We love you Wayne-O

I´ll always remember thinking the light turned green because you snapped your finger and told me "it just listens to me I don´t know what to tell you" I´m not your son per say but you´d never know it how well you took care of me. I´ll love you forever pops
