Wayne was a hard worker and a good man. I always enjoyed delivering concrete to him and his son Gary. They always treated me nice. Wayne even bought me a hat one time that said "Go Big Red!" I wore it til it wore out. Never saw a guy his age work that hard. I think of him often. God Bless you Wayne.
