Hearing of Wayne’s passing was very sad for me. We lived next to Mr & Mrs Funke when I was a young girl, so Wayne & my brother George & others were neighborhood playmates. My name then was Angie Garris. So while this is a sad time especially for Wayne’s family, it does make me remember fond childhood memories. My condolences to all.
