My mother worked with Wayne at Delta Airlines in Boston. Wayne, his wife, and very young child stayed at my mother's condominium in Switzerland many years ago. Here is a photo of the mountains they saw from the balcony. My belated condolences to Wayne's family. I know my mother was very fond of Wayne.

It was an honor to have worked with Wayne at Delta Airlines. He always had the ability to make everyone smile and feel they were very important. His love for his family was so evident by the twinkle in his eyes.

To the Family of Dear Wayne,
I had the pleasure of working with and knowing this fun-loving and very special man. He was always the 'social butterfly' who everybody wanted to know and talk and laugh with. Never a day would go by when we did not see that ever smiling face! I regret that I'm out of town at this time but my heart is with you all, and my thoughts and prayers also.
Another Delta friend,
Pat Arbia-Scott

McShay Family,
I will always remember Wayne for all the good times we had in CYO in high school. Everytime I would see Wayne we would talk about our Canada CYO trip. He was a great guy and a wonderful person to know.
