"There was a huge vacancy created in Holland this past week as my friend Wayne passed away. This man loved God, loved others, and loved the life that God gave him. He always greeted me at church with a smile and gave me one of those classic bear hugs that became his trademark. He was always interested in your problems and even though he had his share of problems as well: you would never know about them. He never complained and was always upbeat and did whatever he could to help address your problem. He was an encouragement to me at church and at Walmart where he demonstrated his abilities so well: faithfully serving others. And I know based on the posts that I have read: that he was successful into serving and touching all our hearts which will leave a lasting impression with us through the rest of our lives. The bible days that those who are considered greatest in the kingdom of heaven are the ones who serves others. Wayne did have a servants heart, and was a true reflection of the character of Jesus Christ, and has gone ahead of us to receive his reward in full. He will be sorely missed. I do not like goodbyes, so I say to you my dear friend: I will see you on the other side."

"His kindness, and smile will be so greatly missed forever when we go to Walmart! There was never a day that we went there when he wasn't greeting us with his infectious smile. Thank You Wayne for being a part of everyone in Holland and surrounding towns. May you rest peacefully in Heaven with your Father!
