Wayne was a wonderful brother and his heart was bigger and deeper than the ocean. The are not enough words to say in our language what he meant to his brother Don and I know that, because he is my husband and his heart is heavy as he thinks about how much he will miss him. He was the expert mechanic Don always called when he was stumped. A lot of Don's friends felt they knew Wayne because he was forever pulling out his phone to give him a call. He was always so sweet to me and I loved him. To Cheryl, Robin, Stephen and Katie all my love and prayers. To Myrna, Joyce, Brenda, Phyllis, Rhonda and Sandy and my husband Don you have all been in my heart and you will forever be there and in my prayers. I love you. Everyone of you. Dianne Hassler
