  8. So sorry to hear of the passing of Wayne. We met him a few years ago at the Turkey Track Bluegrass Festival in Waldron Arkansas and became friends right away. We always enjoyed being with him. Once while at the festival we was surprised to find sweet potatoes at our door when we got up, and we guessed that Wayne was the one that left them at our door and we found out later that it was Wayne that shared his sweet potatoes with us. He was such a kind man that enjoyed life and love people.
    We pray for the oil of joy for mourning for his family.
    To all his family, God is your strength, Trust in Him.
