    I was shocked and filled with sorrow when I heard of Wayne’s passing. Wayne was a shining example of hard work, humility, and honesty that we all need to follow. My deep regret is not being able to see him when I dropped by this past summer; as he was out haying.

    His dedication to horses, and his help in teaching other young horse lovers; also displayed leadership that many people have gratefully learned from Wayne.

    My deepest sympathy to you Elaine, Susan, Dwayne and families.
