Thoughts and prayers go out to Wayne's family and friends.
Sorry for your loss. The little bit I worked with Wayne throughout the years here at Peterbilt, he was a very nice person & always smiling!
I'm glad that he got to enjoy a few years of retirement with his family.
He will be forever in our hearts.
May God give you strength during this difficult time.
May he shower you with blessings from above when you need them.
