I am saddened to hear of Wayne’s passing. We had recently reconnected of Facebook and shared memories of our youth. We grew up together as neighbors outside Pulaski on Dora Highway (Rt 99) 0n what was then called Stafford’s Hill. When I think of Wayne I remember Summer twilight and playing kick the can and chats on the front porch. Autumn mornings of waiting for the school bus. Winters of sledding and snow balling and a Spring anticipating another Summer of school vacation and Bible school at the old Shiloh Church. All cherished found memories. As adults we followed our own paths but memories of our youth remain. To Wayne’s family, God bless and keep you and comfort you.
