I worked for an organization Wayne volunteered for every week. Wayne knew I didn't have any family in the area and each year he would invite me to spend Thanksgiving with him and his family. He was a very sweet and caring person and I am sad to hear the news of his passing. I have fond memories of working alongside him every week to pack bags of food for schools. Rest in peace, Wayne. My condolences to his family and hugs to Sherry.

One of the fondest memories that I had with my Grandfather was when we would go get milkshakes at different restraunts with my Grandmother. We would order a large one and split the milkshakes for the three of us. It was fun to be with them and we would always talk about various things(such as how was school).I will always keep my Grandfather in my heart and think about these good memories.

I was lucky enough to work a couple shifts with Wayne at District 4. Our first priority at the beginning of shift was "what we were going to have for dinner".
Our shifts were filled with lots of laughs and good stories.
Thanks for all the good years.

Rest in peace,
Tim and Marni
