Sharon and family, we were so sorry to learn of Wayne's passing. He and Bob were so close all the years they worked together at the shipyard and the Naval Base. Our son Samuel, has another brother in Christ to recognize in Heaven now. Our prayers are with you all.

To Sharon and Jennifer,

I am so sorry to hear about the loss of Wayne. He was a true friend to me and I will never forget the great times we had working together. I know without a doubt he is in Heaven with Our Lord Jesus Christ and also with my son (Sammy) who went to be with the Lord earlier this year. Thanks for the fond memories Wayne and will see you someday in our real Home!

My prayers go out to you and your family. I worked with Clarence here at NNSY, or as I called him, co-pilot. He was a wonderful person to work with and an even greater person to know. His presence will surely be missed. God bless.
