Not sure what to say?

"Uncle" Wayne, I still miss you and your dry wit. Now that I am retired, I am quoting you when asked how is retirement. "Retirement is WONDERFUL, I recommend it for everyone." God bless you and rest in peace.

We are so sad to hear about the loss of Wayne. Our prayers are with Kathy, Robyn, and Christopher. It has been a long time since we saw Wayne, but he was a great colleague and friend at Wittenberg.

Sorry to hear. I really enjoyed working with Professor Maurer at Wittenberg. I graduated in 1981. Thanks Wayne, you were a fantastic mentor during college.

The first time the Tow Path brought sad news. Sorry to lose another classmate from New Bremen High School Class of 1965. Wayne was always a lot of fun with a droll sense of humor. Kathy, so sorry for your loss. God comfort you and your family in this time of sorrow.
Peace,

I had the pleasure of serving with Wayne on the cannon crew of the First Mad River Light Artillery.

I enjoyed Wayne's sense of humor, and his insight and wisdom as we solved the problems of the world around the camp fire.

My condolences to the Maurer family upon the
loss of Wayne. I reenacted with Wayne when he

remember his quiet way, smiles and massive bear
hugs. We tramped a lot of historical ground together. I will truly miss him. Rest in peace
pard.

I tried registering for a class that required accounting as a prerequisite. Explaining the situation, Professor Maurer provided encouragement, so I signed up for Accounting 101. I absolutely loved the class and him as a...

I have many, many fond memories of "Uncle" Wayne as a student at Wittenberg and then later as a fellow Marine in the Marine Corps League. Loved his witticism and sarcasm. Always enjoyed seeing him selling tickets to the Wittenberg Football games. Part of the times Wayne and I would be together was as members of an Honor Guard the Marine Corps League provided for veterans funerals. I am sadden yet honored that the last Marine Corps funeral detail I do with him is his own. God Bless you Wayne,...
