My heart is heavy to hear of Grandpa passing. He was a good man and was so loving and kind. I remember all the amazing holidays and days at the lake. Some of the greatest memories I have. May you rest in peace. ❤
Grandma, I’m so sorry. 😥 I wish I had stayed in contact with you both. My deepest condolences for your loss. I love you.
Dad, I love you. I’m so sorry for your loss. Sending you love and positive thoughts. ❤
What can we say? Gary has known Wayne and Nadine since he and Greg were in kindergarten. Wayne was like a second dad! Good memories and growing up in Cragmoor, the good ole days, when boys could be boys! Always playing outdoors and Wayne trying to keep them out of trouble. lol
Sending love to family and knowing that he is in God’s good hands!
