Rest easy buddy. Will dearly miss you. Catch you later at the 19th tee box………
George and I are so sad to hear of Wayne’s passing! We both loved working with him in TMCA. We send our condolences and prayers to Helen and family.
So many wonderful memories of Wayne. We will cherish forever. He will forever be with us.
Wayne was truly one of the kindest men I’ve ever known. A caring, sharing, helpful gentleman. Loved to listen to his stories of his & Helen’s adventures. Don’t believe he ever met a stranger. I will always remember his many kindnesses. We are all better people for having known him. Rest in everlasting peace, Wayne.
Just learned of Wayne’s passing last week. Worked with him for many years & amp; he was always a kind individual that was passionate about his work. On a side note not work related, I remember was all the dedicated hard work he put in restoring an old wooden sail boat & amp; the christening he had when it was ready to sail. It was a beauty & amp; every detail was definitely returned to it’s former glory. I’ glad to have known him though the years. May the memories of the loved one you lost give you comfort and peace.
