I met Wayne as a freshman at Clarkson. We were both math majors and became friends throughout our undergraduate years though chose different graduate schools and different careers (Wayne in academics, mine in industry). We did not stay in touch though I still have fond memories.
Wayne was more than a brilliant student. His teaching skills were evident early on. He tutored many on the hockey team while at Clarkson. Wayne´s notes became legendary, and he would share them broadly. If you were to ask Wayne a question, you wouldn´t get just an answer but a didactic explanation on how to get to the answer.
Wayne followed hockey enthusiastically. He could be spotted at the arena in his favorite spot on the side, behind glass in the first couple of rows. Presumably he did the same at Cornell though hopefully rooted for Clarkson when they competed. And in addition to a heavy load in the sciences, Wane would schedule practice time at the nearby Crane School of Music. He first published while in high school on a biology experiment.
Wayne was quick to smile and laugh. His life of give back to students through teaching is what I would have expected. He was a good person and a credit to the profession.

Dr. Bialas was one of my professors while attending UB for my BSIE 1977-1981. He was our Tau Beta Pi advisor when I served as president, always encouraging and supportive. I was in awe of his mastery of the subject in the classroom. Very sorry he dealt with so many health issues over the years. He definitely inspired me to do and be my best. RIP Dr. Bialas.
