Wayne was a Villisca, Iowa classmate of mine, Class of 1955.
He must have moved our senior year, but I remembered him in high school. Condolences to his family.

We were Wayne's neighbors for 32 years. We did little chores for him and were his sounding board for his thoughts. He was a good neighbor and friend.

My sympathy & prayers to the Grady family. I went to Maple Grove country school in Adams Co, and high school in Villisca Ia, with him. We were friends and had many good times together. Our parents were good friends.

Prayers for Wayne's family. Wayne and I were best buddies at Villisca High School. He moved to Des Moines during our Senior year and I went to the Marines. Stayed in contact all those years since.
