Wayne was a friend for 15 years. He was always optimistic, friendly, a fair business man and always had a dazzling, ready smile. He left us too soon.

I had the pleasure to work with Wayne on many matters over the past 10 years. Like clockwork, I always hung up the phone laughing or with a smile on my face. I will truly miss those simple encounters. He had a way with people. Condolences to Cheryl and the rest of the family.

Cheryl:

Wayne was such a great employer and friend. I have such great memories of the good times shared with you and Wayne. How did he always maintain that smile and positive attitude? The sailing, the Christmas gatherings, the wonderful times in the office, will always remain a wonderful chapter in my book of life. You and Wayne will be in my thoughts.
