I am so sorry to learn
that Wayne has passed away. We've been friends since the
early 70's when we both lived in GrandView. Although I
haven't been back to the peninsula since about 2000, I
remember seeing Wayne on that visit, and as we had on so
many other occasions, we enjoyed some good times and lots of
laughs. We've lost a good man, and a great friend. My
sincere condolences to Wayne's family. ~ Rudy Paucker, Splendora, Texas

Going Home
Music -
Antonín Dvořák's
Symphony No. 9 (popularly known as the New World Symphony), 1893
(08 Sept 1841 – 01 May 1904)
Lyrics added by
Dvořák's
pupil, William Arms Fisher
Going home, going home
I'm just going home
Quiet light, some still day
I'm just going home
It's not far, just close by
Through an open door
Work all done, care laid by
Going to fear no more
Mother's there expecting me
Father's waiting, too
Lots of folk gathered there
All the friends I knew
All the friends I knew
I'm going home
Nothing's lost, all's gain
No more fret nor pain
No more stumbling on the way
No more longing for the day
Going to roam no more
Morning star lights the way
Restless dream all done
Shadows gone, break of day
Real life begun
There's no break, there's no end
Just a living on
Wide awake with a smile
Going on and on
Going home, going home
I'm just going home
It's not far, just close by
Through an open door
I am going home
I'm just going home
Going home, going home
