Jannette wilder wrote a sympathy message

“Wayne was one of a kind, I would call and talk to him ( in fun) about that why he should not use the car to get the cows in the field. He always fix things, help others and never was down. RIP but I know your going to fix something up there. Prayers to all the family truly he will be missed. Jannette”
