Dear Janie, and family, I am so sorry for your loss. You and Wayne were together longer than both of my marriages put together. Wayne and I were close, when we worked together in the line gang. I have a lot of fond memories on and off the job with Wayne over the 30years we spent together at Bell. God bless you and keep you in his care.
