I worked for Wayne for several years. He ran a tight ship but always treated me good. Each time I have seen Wayne since I left his employment many years ago, he always talked to me and treated me like a friend. Wayne was a good man and would have done anything for anybody as long as they helped themselves. I will miss seeing him at the the grocery store. Jeff, you will be in our hearts and prayers.

I only had the opportunity and privilege of knowing Wayne for a few short years. During this time he conducted himself with the upmost professionalism and was always the consumate gentleman.
I feel your loss and wish you, the family, the very best during this most difficult time.
