  • Wayne we will all remember you from our childhood years. You had so many friends and family around your home on Waller Ave. You would come and visit us on Southwood Ave., where you also had cousins down the street. Next street over on Waterford was your Grandpa and Grandma where we used to have so much fun. When you moved to Brandon Ave., we followed, would go over there and play for hours until our Mom said it was time to come home. Now, you have gone home, Richard, Larry, Leonard and Ken are waiting for you to. have a good time again. We will all miss you. St. Germain Family. - Posted by: Linda Sobie (Cousin) on: Apr 04, 2012
