I was very sorry to hear of Waynes passing. He was a classmate of mine in high school. I visited with him on occassion at John Deere. I’m sure he is resting in our Lords arms at this moment. And now his suffering is over. God blessings to you his family at this trying time. with all my sympathy Dick Jones
