Wayne was a dear, close friend. We grew p together in the twin cities and not only attended church, Sunday school, confirmation, but also scouts together at Saron Lutheran Church in St. Joe. We camped in the winter at Warren Dunes State Park, canoed with the Explorers down many a river, played football in my parents yard Sundays, and even spent a spring break in New Orleans (2 VW's driving for a weeks' escape from the cold). Living in the suburbs of Charlotte, we would often spend a few days visiting BH/SJ and would often stop to say "hello" to Wayne and Natalie in Higman Park (where as a kid delivered The News Palladium on my paper route). My parents lived on Rocky Gap Road and if we has a plumbing issue, the first person my dad would call would be Wayne. My dad woned Consumers Dairy. Wayne found a Consumers Dairy cream bottle, which he gaveto me, knowing how much we treasured our family history. Wayne and Natalie loved to travel and support major league baseball. I don't think that there were many ballparks that they hadn't visited. They did stop for a visit on their way to Hilton Head to get in some golf. Wayne , you will be truly missed by many!
