I was young, but I remember Wayne and my Father ( Al Cuozzo ) became fast frieneds. Wayne was adventurous, always willing to try new experiences. At the height of the Vietnam War, his Country called and he enlisted, his parents were so proud, recipient of the Purple Heart. When he came home he sought a new job, so my Father ( Al ) got him a job, which had its ups and downs, after some setbacks Wayne saw that job was not for him so he moved on to something that he really enjoyed and saw a long bright future for the Love of his Life ( Ginny ) and his Future Family. Wayne, you will never be forgotten.

Wayne was my husband for 38 years. My heart will be forever broken. A man like Wayne only comes along once in a life time. He was such a great husband, father, friend, brother and uncle. He was so brave, generous, thoughtful, loving, caring, the list goes on and on. I still can't believe he is no longer with us. But, I find comfort knowing that someday we will be united again. I pray God gives me the strength to go on. Our Son Aaron, was the greatest gift, God gave us, and the two of us will get through the years, with each of us, helping the other. Thanks to all our friends and relatives for there many kindnesses during this time, of such a huge loss to our little family. We love you Wayne, and miss you beyond words. I know you are happy, because you are in heaven. We love you.
