   I will miss Uncle Wayne for all the times he and Aunt Sue saved me. Only Sue will know – but the tracks left in our front yard when we had our pool put in, when Indy (beloved beagle) was aging and Uncle Wayne made him his very own bed and when jumping in to help without being asked whenever we needed something, like the finishing of our basement. I will also miss him dearly at our monthly poker games. Although he was my uncle by marriage, he had a way of making me feel special. I am so glad I have mementos he has left our family to remember him by. I will never forget you Uncle Wayne and will never stop loving you.

   This is the first time I have done something like this. But as the last few months unfolded I feared this time would be coming. It came too fast. What do you say to convey your love and admiration for a man such as Wayne Peterson. I am so glad I had the opportunity to reconnect with my Uncle Wayne and Aunt Sue. Over the pass twenty some years (has it been that long?) we shared holidays, birthdays, special occasions both good and sad and in recent years gathered together in a much beloved monthly Saturday poker night. While always a hotly contested event for the bragging rights it was also a time of story sharing and great conversation. Thank you to George and Joan Sons for having the parties so long ago that spawned this event. And a special event it was for as we continued to play over the years a new generation joined us. Krystle and Nick Winne joined in and later Chloe Peterson and others would also occasionally play. It was always time well spent and gave us an avenue to see Uncle Wayne as the person he truly was. He was a man of few words,was strong in his beliefs and a mite bullheaded. Bullheadedness is a trait carried by many of the Peterson clan and while it gets us in trouble at times it also make us resilient and as successful as we want to be. To an outsider Uncle Wayne could have seemed a little gruff but I knew from our conversations and his deeds that his heart was as big as they got. He helped me in word and deed more than a few times and I was always happy when a time came where I could help him. Not that he ever actual asked for help, for he seemed invincible at times for the way he would tackle situations that would have broken lesser men. I asked him about this recently as he was helping me with some personal issues of my own. He gave a lot of the credit to his time in the Marines. He told me that it was that Marine experience that molded him into believing that anything was possible. While I’m a little passed an age where enlisting would be practical, our conversation is helping me to resolve things I need to resolve. He was also so grateful for the love and care of his wife Sue. He told me and others that without her love and care he would have died a long time ago and for that care I am also eternally grateful. I will miss you very much Uncle, I have many great memories to hold on to for now. Hold a spot at the poker table for me, I expect to see Dad, Uncle Kenny and you again. Until then, Love You, Stevie
