Condolences for Wayne C. Sabatka
Miss you, Uncle Wayne. I wouldn’t be the hunter or fisherman I am today without your guidance. I’ll think of you each time I pull a trigger or wet a line. Save a spot in the duck blind upstairs for me.
Sorry to hear this. Wayne and I were classmates at Raymond Central. Had many great times together. May he rest in peace.
Joann and family, I am so sad reading about this. I am so sorry for the pain you are going through now. My thoughts and prayers are with each of you. Joann, I am sending you a BIG HUG. I wish I could be there Monday but it is not going to work out. All my love.
Joann, I remember you as a friend when I lost my brother Dennis. I am quite sure you are one in the same as I remember Wayne being a friend to Dennis too. My deepest sympathy to you and your family. God’s blessings and comfort
We are so sorry to hear about Wayne..our prayers are with his family…💕
