My condolences. I will truly miss the comments and joke Wayne had. He always kept people laughing. If it wasn’t for uncle Wayne I wouldn’t have had my home built. He was such a hard worker. Wayne will always be in my thoughts.

From Craig Starks...

To the family of Wayne Daniel, My name is Craig Starks & I worked for Wayne years ago back in the 70’s. Believe it or not, back then we used to call him Waynie. Seemed kind of funny for a man built as strong as he was. Anyway, my condolences on your loss. Wayne was an extremely hard worker & very fair man. He was always doing the difficult tasks while others did the easier things. We all gave him plenty of reason to complain but he never did. I’ve owned my own business for the past 20 years & I try & treat everyone the way Wayne did. I had’nt seen Wayne in many years so I’m not sure how his health was but I hope he went peacefully. He deserved it. Take care & Gods speed Waynie.

To the most strongest, and greatest man I ever knew…Rest In Peace…I will always have you in my thoughts and most of all in my heart. I love you grandpa and you will be greatly miss.
