Wayne was a GREAT friend!! I always enjoyed working with him...
our deepest sympathy to you pat and your family, from mel and gert maatta and family.
Uncle Wayne was always a strong man. We would make wood together for our families and the wood piles were big and many. I was the only girl out in the woods with all the boys and he promised me that I could be just as strong as the boys were. I believed him and by end of summer I was. He showed me how to skin a muskrat and sharpen a chain saw. I believe he let me drive but I was too young to remember how I did. Copenhagen was always around and I had my first taste. So glad I have memories to look back on. I'll miss you Uncle Wayne ♡
