You and Mom made create for me a “home away from home”. You never gave up on me, even when I was stubborn and whining. You hugged me when I cried, made fun of me when I was silly, and we created so many memories that I will cherish for the rest of my life. I was lucky enough to have you and mom in my life, and I had the immense honor of calling you my dad. I love you, and always will.

With all my love

Am so sorry to hear about Wayne passing. I loved all his stories about his travels and his family and his exchange students. He was a such a kind man and I am so blessed that I had the opportunity to know him. I will not be able to attend the funeral because I will be in Florida, however, Karen, you and your family will be in my prayers. He will be missed.
