I knew Wayne for many years before I left Lima in 1981. He was kind and fun to be around, and had a mischievous twinkle in his eyes! My sincere condolences to the entire Micha Family.

I´ll always have the memories of going fox and deer and groundhog hunting with my " Uncle the Great !" Like the time his truck slid on ice and hit a pine tree... I think it was Garry Stewart , or maybe Larry that gave him the nickname of "Pine tree" over the
CB radio !!
And more recently when I had my son Will with me during a ride along with Wayne during deer season
where we saw about 5 deer leap across one of the roads around Gomer and then a Buck go down into Hog Creek river and swim across to the other side to escape and if that wasn´t enough, saw a deer trying to cross over I-30 and RUN INTO the rear quarter panel of a speeding car.
The car never new what hit it !!
And this was all in one day !!!
These memories I will never forget !!
Miss You !!
