My thoughts go out to Wayne's family in this difficult time. I worked with Wayne on the Community Services Committee at old Chev. Mfg. almost 30 yrs. ago I recall how enjoyable it was to be associated with him. We had many conversations that gave insight into how valuable he was as a person. R.I.P. Wayne !!!
