The first time I met Wayne was when his son, Art, and I had begun dating in June of 1984. We went to the Shrine Circus, where Wayne was dressed in his usual clown garb. This is the way I will always remember him. He was so devoted to his family and his Shriners. Wayne and Goldie, along with the entire Gardner family, were both so very kind to me, Abby and Alex even after Art and I were no longer together. I pray for all of Wayne's children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. May you find peace in knowing that Wayne lived a very good and properous life and is now at eternal rest with God and his beloved Goldie.
