What a blessing I have had by fate that I ended up living in Washington and being able to be near my dad’s family. Uncle Wayne will be missed.
When I think of Uncle Wayne, I remember his wicked sense of humor and that wonderful smile that kept you wondering…is he serious or teasing? He was a great man who will be missed.
I also have fond memories of Uncle Wayne as Mr. Mechanical and working on cars.
I remember your visits to the farm in Minnesota. It was always fun to see everyone and get reacquainted again. I will miss Uncle Wayne’s smile and the twinkle in his eyes.
