I miss Harold already ߘ”He was a good friend to me for over twenty two years…he was kind and generous and funny. I will miss along with my husband DeWayne sitting with him on his porches just talking music ߎ¼ cars and sports. May GOD bless his family with peace ߙ
Wayne was the sweetest friend of my fathers, and a beloved friend of mine. He and Daddy were in the same class of 1959. “We are dandy, we are fine, we are the class of ‘59.” I remember them repeating this a few times. Wayne was always a giver with his time and his talents. He even attended our wedding years ago. I remember a song playing loudly out of no where and it catching him off guard. He was so silly too! Wayne will be missed greatly and was very loved by so many!! Hugs to family-so sorry for this earthly loss!!❤️
Wayne was the reason I married my wife! Well, not exactly, but he drove his new Thunderbird and we double-dated 2 girls from Mooresville. We could have worn out that car, we went to Mooresville so many times. And, later, I married that girl and he was in our wedding. But more than that, we were good friends. You fought the long battle, my friend, RIP We love you. Your Friend, Dave O.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you…you will be missed my friend!!
