My prayers are with you and your family that you find comfort during this difficult time. Wayne was a groom man in my wedding back in 77. Remembering his kind spirit and down to earth personality.
My mom thought that he was one of the sweetest young men she had met.
Rest in peace Wayne.

Man, its hard to believe. We were just talking the other day. We talked every week. Who am I going to talk to now? A few years ago we took a trip together S.C., Georgia, and home to Texas. What a drive with Wayne, him playing oldies, and me playing jazz when I drove. Really going to miss you.
