Everyone that knew Wayne knew he was a good man. I will cherish the days that I spent with him. He was a wonderful husband and father. His son loved him dearly and so did I. I am finding my days very empty without him, but I feel that he will always be around watching over us. I never dreamed that something like this would happen so soon in our lives. I was looking forward to growing old with him. We did not have enough time. The times we had were memorable and I will never forget my Enyaw Dier. Julie (Edna)

Wayne was always there, even when we were kids Wayne was there. Anytime I was with Julie, Wayne was there. Even though Wayne is not here in body, he will never be away, he is always in our memories and in our hearts. Please never forget although if you knew him how could you forget him, right.

Also I wanted to add a thank you to everyone who has contacted Julie and offered support through this difficult time. Please remember to check in on her from time to time because she touched your hearts and lives as much as Wayne has and it is better to cherish someone when they are here than regret after they are gone.

Thank You

Wayne was an old friend we went way back, And was so shocked to hear of our loss. So many memories were brought back the day of the funeral service and they were all good. And it is bad that people drift apart over time and it takes a moment like this to reunite old friends you haven't seen in so long. I can smile and say thank you Wayne. You will not be forgotten, For every-time I hear Judas Priest, Watch The 3 Stooges or even go fishing you will be there. Thank you Wayne

May God bless and keep Julie and Nathan at this time. Craig and I were saddened at Waynes leaving. Though there are smiles and good times remembered we are sad for the loss of someone we cared about and will say a prayer for all the family that must stay here to carry on. God bless.
