Wayne and I met at Woody's, in Woodland Park, Wayne and I bonded and became great friends. Whenever we saw each other (almost daily for the last three years) he would stretch his arms out to hug and give me a kiss. I will surely miss my dear friend's smiling face.

Condolences to the Cochrane Family, you will be in my thoughts and prayers.
