Uncle Wayne was one of a kind. I had lost touch with him until my stepmom, Carol, passed & I started taking care of Dad, who had Alzheimer's. Wayne came out to see us 3 different times, never knowing when it may be the last. We stayed close after Dad died, & talked every now & then. Boy, did he like to talk! And dance! I sure will miss him & his stories. Peace be with you.

There are many good neighbor memories of Wayne & Helen. Working in our yards, sharing laughs, beer, food & watching the kids play ball.

My thoughts and prayers for peace are with all of the family. Wayne was always such a colorful cousin with his stories of his travels over the highways. His infectious smile was a reminder how much he was like his father. Wayne will be missed.
