Wayne and Betty were one of the founding members of the International Harvester Missouri Chapter 1 in 1992 and attended many shows throughout various states along with their fellow IH enthusiasts. They made many lasting friends over the years and their extensive collection was admired by many. Wayne loved showing off his collection and enjoyed getting a phone call or someone dropping by that wanted to come for a tour so he could share his wealth of knowledge about his tractors and all things IH. In the fall of 2022 they made the hard decision to sell the tractors and Cub Cadets, but maintain the memorabilia.
After Wayne retired he enjoyed buying and restoring sleigh bells to their natural beauty then had them secured on to a leather strap. He restored hundreds and hundreds of bells and has over 100 completed straps, which his family will enjoy for years to come.
Wayne had many dogs while farming, but he loved his orange tabby cat, Sam, who showed up one day in 2013 as a small malnutrition, flea ridden kitten and grow up to be spoiled shop cat that melted his heart for many years.
Wayne will be missed by all who knew him and loved him.
