I had no idea that Wade had passed ! I met Wade in 1987 and he and I lost touch in the 90s although our friendship was short we had many awesome times together! He was a generous man and always took care of the people he cared about ! He was more like a brother to me and I miss him . I´m Thankful that God crossed our paths ! I Love you Brother and I´ll see you in Heaven

Jacob, my deepest sympathy to you and Julia for the loss of your father. He and I had many long conversations about your progress during the many years that I gave you golf lessons and I will always fondly remember those. He wanted nothing but the best for you. Know that my thoughts and prayers are with you.
