Wade and i were soul mates in the Junior Chamber.
I will forever remember and cherish his larger than life personality; warm smile; and his infectious laugh. Wade was a dedicated, conscientious, and valuable member of the Junior Chamber. The JC reunions allowed our friendship to continue; secured as brothers-connected by wonderful memories. Wade radiated a warm feeling in me I will never forget. And at the same time taking a interest in you as a person, friend, and making you feel special. These qualities made Wade special. My prayers to all of his family.
