To the Evans Family,
From your best man at your wedding. Our condolences to the family, we only found out the Wayne had passed away. Even though we hadn't seen each other for a long time we will always be best friends. Our days with the Golden Arrows, our long weekends in Ocean City, MD and all the times we spend together just celebrating life. My last thought is "How far is far out."

My deepest sympathies to all Wayne's family. My prayers go out to everyone. I remember Wayne from
The Golden Arrows. My ex husband and I attended his wedding in Walters Park on motorcycles. What a great day that was. Wayne was a great person. I have thought of him and Nonny often thru the years. We all had great fun with the motorcycle club.

To Wayne's family,
My prayers go out to you. Wayne and my dad have been friends for years, going back to the 70's and those Golden Arrow Motorcycle Club days. I have many fond memories. He was a "rough motorcycle guy" but I was lucky. Being a child back then, I got to know the "sweethearts" under that rough exterior.
RIP Wayne
