Hobo and the "Major of Redbank" were his nicknames and used by his close

country life had to offer. Wayne loved all types of hunting, especially
coon and deer, as well as fishing. He trained champion coon hounds and
was ranked as one of Virginia's top five coon hunters for four
consecutive years by the magazines "Prohound" and "Coonhound
Bloodlines". Wayne loved his many hunting and fishing trips across the
US and Canada. Mr. Morris was a huge NASCAR fan who cheered on his
favorite drivers from South Boston Speedway all the way to Daytona. He
traveled with his wife and friends to all fifty states, Canada, Mexico,
and the Caribbean. Playing cards was a great pastime for him as well.
