We remember Wayne when he attended Calvary Tabernacle Church. He was a very special, quiet and gentle man. He always had a kind word and special smile for everyone.

I lived near Wayne and his family in1961. Wayne was always a sweet young man who grew up with few extras that money could provide, but that never changed his desire to help his Mother, Grandmother,younger brother and aunt with whom Wayne lived.He will never again have to do without the very best.
