Its hard to believe youre gone ten years. The memories never fade, nor are they forgotten. Youre thought of often. Your legacy has lived on through Matt...hardworking, successful, and definitely humorous. Love for you always.

I remember the last time I saw you. Who would’ve known that would be the last time. The moment I walked out of that room I would’ve never guessed that I would never see you again. There it was, my last chance to get out my last words, and I couldn’t even do it. As I choked up I stood there crying wondering why, screaming aloud “don’t go, don’t leave”. Still standing in front of your bed, all tense, thousands of words raced through my mind but I couldn’t find the strength to pull those words out. I didn’t want the words good-bye to run off my lips, I just wanted to be able to say see you later. I stood soundly as I slowly watched you pass. I regret not saying the words that came to mind. Now that you’re gone, it’s time I let you know. I miss you more than anyone will ever know. I’m so sorry I never told anybody what I had seen coming, maybe if I would’ve, things would be different; but god had his mind made up, and it was time for you to go. I love and miss you though, more than words will ever know. As far as forgetting you, don’t worry I won’t, because I’m not yet ready to let you go.
Rest easy uncle wayne.
love forever

Wayne,
I can't believe it's been been a year since you left us.There's been days where we shed some tears. I still remember your corny jokes and in your remembrance here's one for you.
What do you do when you stub your toe?
Answer: call a tow truck.
Don't worry about Phil & Matt, we will take good care of them.
Forgetting you NEVER, you're forever in our hearts.
And as Amanda says, we'll see you again someday.
Miss you, Rest in peace.

Wayne,
Wow I can't beleive it's been 1 year since you left us. What makes me find comfort is remembering the great times we had. Miss your jokes. I am doing my best to fill your shoes telling corny jokes. I told Amanda this one for Halloween. Where does Dracula fish. She said don't know where. I know you would have known the answear because I'm sure you may have told it before. The answear is Lake Eerie. Please continue to watch over Phil and Matt as it's been a struggle but I know you have been there for them even when things aren't going the way we feel it should. Say hello to Cecil(cc), Grandma and Uncle Pat. I'm sure you guys are the life of the party in heaven as you were on earth.
Miss you
Mike

Dear Uncle Wayne,
How’s your halo? Are you homesick? I wish you could come home. I hope heavens' treating you well. It's been a long time since we last spoke. I miss you. I seem to see you everywhere, especially on those sunny not a cloud in the sky kind of days. I think of you when I hear birds chirp, because I remember how much you hated hearing them when you were trying to relax. It hurts seeing you knowing that you're not physically here, but at least I know you're still with me somehow. I can't wait to go fishing for the first time this year. It won't be the same without you, but I promise I'll learn to take the catfishes off the hook. I'll even hold a fish and take a picture, just for you. I really miss those corny jokes of yours, that weren’t funny but I laughed anyway because I had to. I miss your big welcoming bear hugs. I miss the way you taught me how to make different food. I miss watching movies with you and Aunt Phil when I stayed over. I miss how you would tell Matt that his music was ruining our minds and that if he didn’t turn it down the house would fall apart. I miss the can of "peanuts" that I would fall for every time you told me you couldn't get them open but you knew I could. Most of all, I miss you. I pray that one day, missing you won't hurt so much, and maybe it'll be easy. Knowing you're in a better place now helps me smile and make it through. I know I'll see you again someday; I can't wait for that day to roll around. The day we finally get to fish together again. I love you. Keep watching over me please. Rest in Peace. My guardian angel </3. –xoxo Amanda

Death didn't part us
our love didn't die
My heart aches for you and I cry and I cry
But I still feel your love and it helps me get by
And then there's the lives of so many you touched. People are always saying the crazy words you made up or telling one of your corny old jokes
We miss you so much
I love you

I wanted to write something for days but couldnt find the words. All I can say is, tragic,and this solidifies the belief, that only the good die young. The only thing more heart wrenching than losing a brother is watching all those I love in agony too. Thank you to everyone who has comforted my mother and family and Phil matt and Dom. I only hope Wayne knew or knows now,how many people truly loved him.I was blessed to of gotten a call from Wayne before he passed and had the chance to tell him I loved him. I shutter to think how Id feel if I hadnt. We would all be good to remember those far away and not in our everyday lives that we love and reach out because life is fragile. For some screwed up reason we never know how much we love someone until they are gone. I loved my brother immensly.

Hey Wayne, you left us way too soon. What's up with that, and you were finally really, really happy. You, Wayne, have always been a good friend and just like a brother to me. I remember when we fell into the routine of taking the bus to your house after school everyday and we would make sandwiches and creep up the stairs to sneak milk down to the basement. We would munch out and then take our naps - you on the couch and me on the hard board with a cushion. I always got the board. I didn't care, you played the best moody blues and we would crash. Then Lynn would come home from school to meet me. Best friends. Years of good times Wayne, thank you for making me laugh through some of the craziest years of my life. My heart goes out to your family, who have always been like family to me. Your life was too short and many will miss you. May God welcome you Wayne, to his eternal paradise and bring you peace.
November 5, 2009
Phil you did a wounderful job sharing your memories with all the photos. They showed how much you both loved each other. For thoses who did not attend you missed out not Waynes death but the memories of his life. I am not sad today because I know Wanyne enjoyed his time he spent here with us. We are really blessed that he was with us 50 years. He will be missed by everyone who knew him.

Jerry,
I'm so very sorry for the loss of your brother and best friend, Wayne. I can't imagine how painful this has been for you and your family. Please accept my deepest sympathy.
I have a lot of great memories of Wayne but all of them involve the two of you together. You two could light up a room. Anyone surrounding the two of you were usually in a fit of laughter from all the joking. Wayne was fun to be around, to be sure, but he also had such a kind and gentle nature. It was impossible not to warm up to him. He reminds me so much of you, Jerry. You share so many of his mannerisms and humor. This will be a comfort to all who know and love you both.
I will continue to keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. And please know, my friend, I am here for you always.

Wayne is going to be missed very much by so many people. When we think about being with Wayne we think about all the laughter, good jokes, funny stories and sharing holiday parties at your house. We use to talk about what we’d do when we retire- we always told Wayne he should run a marina. We know that there will be a big void in your life, but remember he is just over the horizon and probably still making jokes, he now has a new audience. Wayne is and will forever be your guardian angel. We will miss him too.

Uncle wayne,
you always told me how proud you were of me, your gone now and you can't tell me anymore, but I still know you are proud of the things I've accomplished and the things I will accomplish. Every night before I go to bed I think of you, and every morning before school I think of you. I see your face and even though it hurts, I smile because I know you loved when I smiled. Its hard not having you around, but I've been able to stay strong by remembering the amazing times about you. I remember this past summer you told me about the cat fish hole not to fish by, but I really wanted tat cat fish. so while you went to cut the grass I fished by the hole. I didn't think I would actually catch the fish but I did, and then I was screaming for help and you just kept mowing the lawn. you just kept going by until you finally noticed that I cought the fish. That same week you ordered the wrong food for me, so aunt phil shared her dinner with me, as mad as I was that I didn't get my chicken ALFRADO, not POMPADORIAN! I still thought it was funny. You haven't been gone a week, and I miss you so much, I'll see you again someday (:
"forgotten:NEVER. loved:FOREVER.
rest in peace uncle wayne.
Love always,
Amanda.

Wayne, I've known you most of your life, and I charished the times I babysat you,Lynn,Jerry, and Steven. Christie was born after my babysitting days turned to motherhood. You and Ken were buddies from the start, and played together every day. Seeing you at Ken and Deb's, always brought back so many memories of you when you were a little guy. You've grown so tall, and towered over me. I will miss you and my prayers will be with your mom for the loss of your dad and you. Rest peacefully now Wayne, and know your memories will live forever in my heart. Love Gerry Blalock (Koberstein)

Wayne,
I will never forget your last words to me on Monday "Miss ya guys, lets get together after I'm fixed". I laughed and said to you I thought you were already fixed years ago. You laughed with me- I think I caught you off guard- you didn't know I could be funny too. No words can express the sadness, hurt and anger we feel right now with the loss of one of the greatest brother in laws. Looking at the photos and cherishing the memories helps to relieve the hurt but there will always be a hole in my heart. Hope you don't mind that I shared one of those photos/memories. I was bugging you to shave that charlie chaplin mustache and you imitated Charlie to the tee and I was laughing so hard you had me crying!
Love you always,
Ev & Scott

a guy who could always light up a room with his jokes and someone who could make anyone smile with just a smirk of his own. my uncle wayne was an amazing person and left our lives too soon, there is something missing now and it can never be replaced. we love you dearly uncle wayne.
my prayers are with his sons, my cousins matt and dominic, who need to remember to focus on the good times and the memories with him that we will never forget.
i know he found his father (grandpa) and together they are happy.<3

We were blessed enough to have you as our brother-in-law for 20 years sharing so many hilarious memories. You kept us on a roll with never a dull moment. You'll always be remembered for your sense of humor, your kindness, your quick comebacks, and the warmth you gave when you surrounded us.
You will be terribly missed. That brightest star in the sky is you shining down upon us. We love you <3 <3 <3

Philomena, your family and the Reno family have my utmost sympathy. I haven't seen you and Wayne for many years but I have many memories of him and his goofy humor from our high school days. So many times we laughed at just the stupidest stuff. He will keep them laughing in Heaven, and we will remember him fondly.

If you ever met Wayne, you couldn't help but like Wayne. His purpose was to make you laugh. He was quick to share a joke and an easy smile. My husband was probably the nicest man you will have ever known. He was so genuine & likeable. He loved his family, his profession, and his country. He will be missed by so many but certainly never, ever forgotton. I know you're in heaven clowning with the angels and catching "big a** bass" with Dad. We love you, Wayne. Rest in peace, hon. We'll be all right.
