I worked with Wayne at Firestone and he was one of the funniest, kindest people there. He did always have a smile. My condolences to his family.

Sorry for the loss seems to not say enough for your whole family. I don't think I ever saw him without a smile. My sons remember him most for his hot sausage sandwiches. They were too little to remember this - I had taken them to a Cubs game downtown and we sat middle bleachers. But being boys, they ran off clear to the top of the bleachers. They quickly ran right back down. They said that the man at the top of the bleachers was a fortune teller. The boys told me that that man said he knew their names. I said set down - so they ran back up. This man then told them he knew where they lived. I said set down or we go home. I finally looked back, and there was Wayne laughing and laughing.
