    Emily and I are so sorry for your loss of a truly wonderful man. I always looked forward to seeing Wayne whenever I got home for a visit and especially enjoyed the stories he and Dad would get into. What I loved about him most was you never had to wonder about what he really thought about things. He was as “real” a person as you’ll ever find. I will certainly miss him.
    Love Mike and Em
