Wayne loved working on the farm feeding his chickens and gathering the eggs, taking care of the cows, and all the other animals. He also loved planting and caring for a huge garden. His main job was mowing the yard, which he took great pride in doing. Wayne’s greatest joy was his family. Rest in peace, our brother.
