Wayne~I was always happy when you and Pam showed up for a holiday family affair. I know the scene was usually more hectic and crazy than you preferred, but you were always gracious and patient with all of us. Thanks for that! You will be missed, but not forgotten.

Wayne...your big heart, your subtle sense of humor and your unique presence will be greatly missed, but the lesson I learned from you about finding a great love in your beautiful Pam will always be with me.

Jackie, Joyce and Family,
When we lose someone we love, it seems that time stands still. What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch, we may not understand why he left this earth so soon, or why he left before you were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, you begin to remember not just that he died, but that he lived. And that his life gave you memories too beautiful to forget. Please accept my heartfelt sympathy to you and your family.

Love you,

My Uncle Wayne was so cool. He would always talk to me and ask me if everything was ok. He would give me advise.
I have a picture of him giving me a ride on his Harley when I was 5 years old. I have that picture in my wallet now.
He was my best Uncle. I miss him very much and I will never forget him.

It's so strange and very sad that Wayne is gone. Everytime I've needed his help he's been there. Probably 100 times or more I either broke down in my car , needed a ride or anything at all. He never said no. He always gave me good advice and always talked about things he had done in the past. People may remember him as a quiet guy but not me ....especially if someone cuts him off on the freeway!! I miss and love you Wayne

I was Lucky To been called Brother by Wayne
