Neil Meyer from St. Cloud, MN
"I have many fond memories of my first cousin Wayne growing up. I remember the Meyer Christmas’s filled with fun and excitement, the playing poker, 2/22 and Boo-Ray I think? I remember the parents stepping in once when the money got out of hand! I remember the fun snow sledding at their house and my first deer hunting and overnight experience had Wayne as my mentor and guide. I was 14, Wayne was 15. I always admired and enjoyed Wayne and his big personality. Wayne will live on in my heart for as long as my memories will last. My condolences to all who are suffering from the loss of this great man."
Bill and Karen Galivan from St. Charles, IL, IL
