I met Wade years ago when Arts was open. I would see him and Jessie Wheeler shooting craps. Wade always would greet with a smile and a hello. When Cap was working at Arby's I seen him riding his bike in the dead cold winter. I thought man he must be cold. I went home and a day or two went by and I found my Carhartts which were black just like is jacket. I wrapped them up and brought to him. I said,"Cap I have something for you. " He looked at me like what did you bring me. Please open it and when he seen that they were carhartts he hurried and tried them on. They fit him. He had the biggest smile and hugged me saying thank you. I told him that I seen him riding his bike to work and he looked cold. He laughed and said. YES I freeze going to work. We became good friends. He will truly be missed. I will miss his laughter his craziness. My sincere condolences to his family and his daughter Fawn whom I had the honor of meeting.
