Wayne was the core of our family. Our dad counted on him when we were on the farm to help with chores. Wayne accepted the responsibility of keeping the family together. He may have lived alone, but he had hundreds possibly thousands of friends and acquaintances in the area and from around the country. He will be greatly missed.
