Not sure what to say?

Marianne,
I wish to express my condolences to you and your family. Wayne was a very talented person whom I greatly admired.
I was 2 years younger and first met him in Jr. High at SC. and followed him to WVU and WVU Medical School. He will be missed and I am sure he was a big part of your community.

Marianne,
I'm incredibly sad to learn this news. Wayne was the funniest person I've ever met. Our intern year with you both was the best, and "Wake up Wellington" will forever be his theme in my mind. This world is lesser for his loss. Love to all of you.

Marianne and family, We were so sorry to learn of Wayne's death. He was such a wonderful person. I am so glad we had a chance to reconnect at the SCHS reunion in 2013 and to meet you. Wayne was one of the nicest people I ever knew. Please accept our sincere sympathies. Jean and Sandy

Dr. Gandee was a coworker early in our careers. He was a friend in our radiology profession. I am sorry about his passing. Prayers for his family.

I am very sorry to see that Wayne lost his hard fought battle. Not only was he very accomplished in his field, he was just a helluva great guy.
My most sincere condolences to the family.

I am so very sorry for your loss.

Marianne and family: What an accomplished man. And, what an authentically good guy. Wayne and I grew up on Central Avenue in South Charleston, West Virginia. My mother, Nelle Melton, was the student council adviser at our local high school and Wayne was Council President our senior year. Mom was very proud and possessive of her presidents over a 20+ year span and especially proud of, as she said, "my Wayne!" Wayne's picture for the high school yearbook and for the 50th class reunion were...

I send my best wishes to the family and friends of my nearly life-long friend and fraternity brother. We met in High School and attended WVU and WVU Med school together. His vibrant, generous personality and keen intellect were always on display for all of us who played, schooled, danced and grew up together with him. Well done, old friend, well done. J K Lilly sends
