I’m in shock! I just saw him about 3 weeks ago when he came for his dental cleaning he seemed fine for
Wayne. I’ve known him and his wife Joan 15 years! I worked with her for many years (sweet, loving couple)
He was a very sweet, loving, kind man! He will be missed by many! My heart goes out to Joan! I’m so sorry for your loss my prayers are with you! I love you ❤️
