I am so sorry to see the passing of Wayne. He was a "neighbor" of my Mom at Scottish Rite Park for quite awhile and until she moved into health care. He would always take the time to chat with me and ask about Mom. He was such a kind man. May your memories bring you some peace and comfort.

My love and sympathy to the family. We will truly miss Uncle Wayne, but rejoice that he is no longer suffering. What a reunion there must have been in Heaven. Heaven is getting sweeter every day! Love you all!!!

Our love, sympathy and prayers to the family. Uncle Wayne is appreciated for his faith in the Lord and sharing it. He invited our folks to go to church with him and their faith story began as young parents. Many faith stories can be shared. We remember the family reunions with homemade ice cream. Uncle Wayne and Aunt Maxine were so good to our mom when she was sick. See you in heaven!
