My deepest sympathy to you all of you as you mourn the loss of your father. I remember him from the Fly Store as a humorous fellow with a ready off of help.
May you all find peace.

Uncle Wayne was one of the coolest, quirkiest gentlemen I have ever met. He was my cool and quirky mother’s brother, and though I didn’t see him often, especially in the recent decades, he took up a big space in my family memories for his sweet spirit, sweet voice, cleverness and inventions. Rest in Peace Uncle Wayne.
