Wayne was my uncle. We had several holiday gatherings at his house. One memory I have is of Dad and Wayne always fighting over Grandmas custard pie she would make. He was a great Uncle. He will be truly missed. He will be in good company up above.

As Wayne's older brother brief memories of taking care of his 4H steer, marching with Kewanee drum and bugle corps in summer of 1960, and how he could always throw the baseball farther than I could come to mind. He was a great brother. Linda, Brad, and Amy you were lucky to have him.

Dear Linda and family,
I first met Wayne and Linda when they parked their RV next to ours in AZ. What fun we had together over the years. I have the bird that Wayne gave me on a shelf in my living room. He will be forever missed by family and friends.
