Dear June, we were so sorry to hear of your loss of Wayne. Remembering all the good times at Thursday bowling against him and the Boys team. Our sincere condolences. Love, June and Gord.
I have been thinking about some good old times spent with Uncle Wayne. I have many memories of fishing with Uncle Wayne. One particular memory stands out! We were heading fishing in his Yellow Dodge Charger listening to a Johnny Cash eight track. The song, “I never picked cotton” played, it kept repeating. I will cherish memories like this one forever.
June and Family: we extend our regrets on your loss. Wayne was a steady influence in the community and his soft voice and laugh were so distinctive and memorable. Going forward look for his presence everywhere and you will find him.
June & family, our deepest condolences on the loss of cousin Wayne. May you find peace in his memories. Thinking of you during this difficult time!
