My condolences to the family. It has been many years since I'd seen Wayne. He was a great friend to my dad and now they can be together again. He always made me laugh and I will always remember him for that.

Sorry for your loss. May you find comfort in the Bible at Revelation 21:4 "And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away."

Wayne was a great man, when I first met him he opened his home to me he shared many of his philosophies and believes and told me without doubt I had always better be good to his sister, we shared many good times together I have the upmost respect and will be thankful for the privilege of knowing him. Rest in peace my dear friend, God bless all the Birkenbine family at this tragic time of loss.

My buddy Wayne, the only man who could give me a kiss or pat me where he shouldn't and my hubby didn't mind!!! A hard man to get to know but once you did, was your friend forever! I know your resting in heaven, no more pain. Your back with all your military buddies having a good time. We will never forget you. He always called my 6'2", 400 lb hubby Jeffie!! Sleep peacefully my friend.

I'm another Cheryl and I was part of "Wayne's World" for 13 yrs. No doubt about it, Wayne lived his life his way, work hard and play hard! I know that in the future every time I hear a train, a thunderstorm or the song "Crystal Blue Persuasion" I'll smile and think of him. My heart goes out to his daughters and his 5 grandchildren. Rest in peace Wayner.
