Not sure what to say?

I'VE KNOWN WAYNE EVER SINCE I MOVED TO STONEBRIDGE 2 YEARS AGO. HE MADE ME FEEL WELCOME THE FIRST DAY I MET HIM. HE ALSO HAD A GOOD SENSE OF HUMOR. IT WAS EASY TO JOKE AROUND WITH HIM. EVERY TIME I NEEDED A HAIRCUT HE WAS WILLING TO TAKE ME SOMETIMES I WOULD FORGET AND HE WOULD SAY TO ME DONT HAVE TO GO FOR A HAIRCUT? I WOULD SAY YOUR RIGHT AND WE WOULD BOTH LAUGH. I HAVE TO SAY HE WAS A GOOD MAN AND HE'LL BE MISSED.

I met Wayne while living at Stonebridge. He really was one of the nicest guys there. I was just getting to know him. I was and still am so sad that he died. I miss seeing him around here. He had many friends here who loved him dearly. RIP Wayne. You are and will be greatly missed.

I worked with Wayne several years ago at Topco Associates. Wayne was very kind and a hard worker. He always went out of his way to help. I am sorry for your loss. -Alexandria Ostrowski

I remember Wayne as being cheerful and happy every time I saw him. There was a time I didn't see him for almost a year, and then, when we ran into each other, it was like no time had passed and he remembered that we'd talked about my cat and he picked up the conversation where we'd left off. As the saying goes, the only people who weren't his friends were the ones he hadn't yet met. I will miss his smile and positive attitude.

May your memories of the wonderful times you shared with your loved one comfort you and your family, today and always.
