Not sure what to say?

I am very saddened to hear of Wayne's passing. I met Wayne many years ago when I began working for his mother, Liz as Mr. Ellis called her. I would come over mostly on Saturday's helping out with the girls & with some household chores, as well. I have often thought of this family through the years. I have good memories of knowing & working for them. I was only 13 & this extra money allowed me to help out with my school clothes. Wayne was much loved by his parents. You could tell that...

Thinking of Wayne on his birthday! Happy Birthday. You are loved and missed by us all.

We have only just heard of Wayne's passing and we are so saddened, my wife and i met Wayne and his ex wife Denise and their children in 1977 when we arrived in Jax from the UK and we had many happy times together on his boat on the St Johns river and at racecar meetings. He was such a good friend to us in those early days in the US. Our sincere condolences to Waynes family and friends. Derek and Barbara Jones [email protected]

We were so shocked and sorry to learn of Wayne's passing. My ex-husband and I met Wayne in the Sports Car Club when he was racing his Formula V. I believe he also competed in the autocrosses in his corvette. I worked with him when I was the supervisor of the Probation and Parole office in Clay county and he was the ASA. Wayne had a great personality and was well liked by all those in the Sports Car Club and those he worked with. He was a great guy and will be greatly missed by all who...

Wayne and I were friends throughout college, law school and beyond. Our travels took us throughout Florida, to Ohio, all over Southeast Texas, to the town of San Antonio and throughout Mexico. It is ironic that I was in Sedona, Arizona when Wayne died inasmuch as it was Sedona that I suggested to Wayne last year as a vacation spot. I know he and Susan enjoyed Sedona and that Susan will have great memories of that vacation. Since I was in Arizona I was not able to attend Wayne's services...

We met Wayne in 1969, almost 44 years ago, when we joined the North Florida Corvette Association at the same time. When we were in the club, we spent many hours together, laughing, talking, going to fun places, such as the Saki Shop or a restaurant down a dirt road to eat oysters on the half shell. We use to tease him when he danced that his dance steps were called the “Judicial Jerk”. We had many good times together and no matter how long in between seeing each other, we were always...

Liz.....Mikey and I were so sad to learn of Wayne's passing. We have so many wonderful memories of days at Ribault, from the hospital,trip I made after the football game with him, to the birth of your Lynn and Marianne and my Mike. You were truly a good friend. Wayne was such a special young man and I know you were very proud of him and his accomplishments. I regret we lost touch after we moved to Ocala. Wanted to come but other commitments prevented it. Jimmy, our son, tried to get in...

My sympathies to you all. When I started as a young prosecutor in 1993 Wayne was unfailingly kind and supportive. Even though we were on opposite sides, he went out of his way to be helpful. He seemed never to stop teaching the young lawyers, and you could always count on his wit to help you keep things in perspective. Rest easy, Wayne.
