Wayne Thank you for being my Dad, you are the only dad I lived with and that was one of the most cherished times of my life.
Wayne Massie you have no idea how you and Shirley touched my life. Up until my 17 bday I said I did not want to ever get married. Then I moved to San Diego and lived with the most amazing couple you can meet. They were fun, worked together, care for others, made a party for: Easter, Valentine’s, birthdays, 4th of July, Veteran’s day, even 5 de Mayo. Cheers, fun, joy, hugs, love… FAMILY.
Shirley became a mother to me and Wayne a Dad. Man and what a Dad, what a MAN.
Before Waye, I did not know what was like to have a Dad, mine died when I was 13 months.
As days went by, I started to experience first hand what was like to live in a home with both parents.
They were so different, loving, special, fun, with so many talents, very giffted, they knew about everything. Their house was pretty big, they had a big yard with lots of trees, a garden were they cultivate different plants like zucchini. I usually got home by 4pm got to my room and I will hear a motor, a pretty loud sound, I tought Waye came home and was riding the three wheel motorcycle, to my surprise he was taking care of the big backyard, cutting the trees. Then other day he was changing the oil of the red Toyota of my sister Leah. Other day I found him in the kitchen, doing dishes, some other night was his turn to fix dinner. I never before knew a man that could do all that. Basically men in Mexico were served by the Mom, wife, sisters, or other female.
The very first week I met John the neighbor in front of the house. His wife has passed away and they didn’t have children of their own. Wayne and Shirley took care of John. Then one vacation, we went over John’s house and painted inside the house. That was the first time I painted, and since that day I have painted houses, the houses I lived.
Wayne love 🚲 and golf. He was in good shape.
In th basement he has an old red Porch vehicle he was working on.
Wayne you are AMAZING!!!
My handyman, loving, fun, Dad.
Life at the Massies was like being alive, enjoyable, fun, loving. The day came and I returned to Mexico with a different mind, with the desire of one day marry and have a family of my own, a family like my beloved Massies.
Wayne you are rare. There are few men like Wayne, like my Dad. Thank you Wayne for being you, for being a man of integrity, for taking care of the house, your house was so pretty, nothing ever got unattended, because you fix everything. I really love living with you. Now that God blessed me with a boy, I’m doing my best in raising a godly good man, a man of integrity, a handy man like you, a caring, fun man like his daddy.
Thank you Wayne for being like a Dad to me, thank you for all I learned from you, thank you for being you. You are one in a million, and for ever I will thank God for your life, for your example and for had touched my life so deep inside.
Wayne, I love you bunches!!!!
