He received many other awards and citations for his abilities and work ethic. Wayne was a man of very few words but we all knew that he loved and cared for us all. He will be sadly missed by his many grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great grandchildren. Wayne will be met at the gates by his grandson Ryan. “In tears we watched you sinking, We watched you fade away, Our hearts were fully broken, You fought so hard to stay, But when we saw you sleeping, So peaceful and free from pain, We would not wish you back, to suffer that again. A million time we needed you, If love could have saved you, You never would have died. If we could have one wish, One dream come true, We’d pray to God with all our hearts For yesterday and you.”
