Linda so sorry for your loss may God bless you through this difficult time sending you love & prayers
From all of us at A-1 Truck Parts, we send our sympathy to your family for your loss. We pray that you find peace and comfort in these difficult days.
We are going to miss this brother so much! I grew up with Wayne and Anita as we were closest in age in a family of 7 children. Wayne was always a jokester and had the biggest shit ass grin on his face (sorry the only way I know how to describe it). We are going to miss stopping over to their house and sitting in the garage to have a beer (Wayne’s man cave). Anyone could stop by their house at anytime and always find Wayne in his garage. We had a hard time convincing him to go to family functions because he loved just being a home body. I love him to the moon and back but could not watch him suffer like he was doing. He is now in heaven with Tommy, his nephew and god-son, and I know Tommy will take good care of his Uncle Wayne.
We are going to miss this man so much! I grew up with Wayne and Anita as we were the youngest in a family of 7 children. Wayne was always a jokester and had this shit ass grin on his face (sorry only words I know to describe him). If you knew him you know what I am talking about. He was a home body and didn’t care for family functions just preferred to stay home in his garage. If you wanted to visit with him then you better stop over and have a beer with him in his garage as that was the only place you could find him. Love him to the moon and back and glad he is no longer in pain. He is now in heaven with Tommy, his nephew and god-son, who will take excellent care of his Uncle Wayne.
Sorry for your loss .
I will never forget the great memories of uncle Wayne at any family gathering – he always made an attempt to try and get me to tell him about the trouble I was causing….for some reason I always told him! He loved hearing about what I was up to and always made a point to tell me “give em hell kid” He had a great laugh and great personality. Tell dad I said hi uncle Wayne and Let him know I’m still causing trouble.
