Wayne B. Stuckey

Grandpa Wayne Stuckey went back into the hospital on September 11. He was discharged under the care of hospice, and died Friday, September 16. When I learned of his passing, my initial reaction was shock. I realized that even though he had been in and out of the hospital over the last several months, I had let myself believe that we might see him again at Christmas.

Grandpa Wayne will always hold a special place in my heart. He was kind, loving, and easy to get along with. He loved his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren dearly. Ever since I started dating Wayne, Grandpa Wayne, he got teary with goodbyes. He had a hearty laugh and twinkling blue eyes. He made me feel so welcome in the family and loved on us all. He will be sorely missed.
