A Note from Aubrey

I am so sorry to give you this information via email, we are unable to call everyone and unsure if everyone has gotten the news. Please forgive this format.
Early Friday morning (January 28th) Wayne passed away in his sleep.
It was very sudden and completely unexpected, in fact we all had a great time together on Thursday evening, he was joking and happy.

In order to allow those who would like to remember him with us we are trying to get the word out asap.

We will be having a funeral and burial service in Palmyra NY on Friday February 4th at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Saints Palmyra chapel, 10:00 am.
Burial immediately following the service will take place at the Palmyra Village cemetery.

A memorial service to celebrate Wayne's memory will take place in Las Vegas Nevada on Saturday February 12th at 3:00 pm at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day saints chapel on Sloan and Alcott. After we will have a party with pizza popcorn and pink lemonade to send him off enjoying the things he loved..... to the end.

His obituary will run in the Las Vegas Review Journal Wednesday February 2nd.

We love you all, your thoughts, love and prayers are felt. This has been very hard and we know it wont be easy to get on without such a large presence.

For good or ill there will be no more IGM's coming your way.

Love,
Aubrey (Wayne,s Daughter)
