Rest in peace my friend, your job on earth is done…I was blessed to know you!
My sympathies to the Heath family!
To all the family I offer my sincere sympathies. Thayne was a master carpenter who helped me a number of times with projects around my home. He had uncanny skill. And we tipped many a whiskey at the Holley Farm Resort and Dugout over the years. No ice please. I am sorry I will never share those times with you again, my friend.
I remember some good canoe races we had good times.
Thank you to all that loved my father. Your support means so much to our family. We will all miss him greatly and will hold on to warm memories forever. Love you Dad!
