Mr. Wade was an avid fisherman and a lover of wood work projects. He has made rosaries, carvings of all kinds, toys, rocking chairs, baby cradles, you name it, he'd make it for you. After his wife's passing, he developed the art of cooking and became very fond of it and was nicknamed "The Gumbo King" by his family. Our loss is truly Heaven's gain!
