I have known Wayne since 1968, when the old shop was by the Dairy Queen on Rt. 23. He also sold Triumphs then, and I bought parts from him. He got interested in antique bikes the same time as did my dad, "Red" Ryan, and Dale Walksler, of "Wheels Thru Time" Museum. Wayne was a founder of the Midwest Antique & Classic Motorcycle Club in May, 1973, and held officer posts in the Club for many years. He was a "champion" in every way. God bless and keep you, Wayne.

Hello Mary Lou,
Your Dad left an impressive legacy but only you can know what he meant to you. I hope you go gently in the coming weeks and give yourself time to grieve and appreciate your memories of him. My thoughts are with you and your mother.
