I'll remember Wayne as cheerful, fun loving and enjoyed having visitors over. He'd always greet me with a big hug & kiss and a big smile on his face. He's not missing Arlene any longer. God Bless them both. Our thoughts & prayers are with the 3 girls -- Wayne was so proud of them.

Wayne was a part of my life for nearly 40 years, 37 of which he was my step-father. From day one, Wayne treated both my sister and I as his own. We couldn't have asked for a better step-father. I will miss him terribly but I know he is in a better place now.

Our deepest sympathy to your family. Though we never met, we heard many wonderful stories from Nancy & Don about Uncle Wayne & Brandon. Our thoughts & prayers are for your whole family. Love, Elaine Jacklinsk & Family (sister of Nancy Bechtel)

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

My condolences to my friend Carolyn and her family. While I did not know him I truly enjoyed reading about him and it is evident he made a wonderful difference to many, which is the most important legacy we can leave. Sincerely - Nikki Christensen
