To all who ever knew Wayne, May God bless his family and those left behind with the heartache of Wayne's death. As a good bud and a college roommate, I have fond memories of our early days together. Banging around campus at UofA, working in sorrity kitchens, running down to Nogales. We will miss you Wayne, Frank in Kentucky
