I have known Wayne for years. We were in school together. He was always a character always laughing and happy. I am so sorry for your loss. I pray God will comfort you during this difficult time.
After I joined the National Guard, Wayne was one of the first people to extend his hand and make me feel welcome. Always a friendly word and always cutting a joke. You have my deepest sympathy for your loss. He was a good man.
I knew Wayne ever since we were “kids” . Wayne was always working & staying busy at whatever he was doing. I want to thank him for his service to our country, retiring from the National Guard!! May he rest In Peace.

We are said to hear of Wayne’s death. He is family to us.
Jewel- Back in the ’80s you and Wayne gave me a Christmas present that I still have today, but thankfully don’t have to use as much – A Set of Jumper Cables. I know Wayne picked that out for me.
Remembering good times.

Saddened to see a community neighbor has passed away. Remembered the Brook’s family from Belltown Store. Good family.
