Kelly,
Our deepest sympathy to you and your family for your loss.

The miles separated our families decades ago but Wayne would regularly call my father..and after he passed, he would telephone my mother the same...right up until about 2 weeks ago.
As a child, I can't forget him tooling-around in that bright red Austin-Healey.

TO THE WHOLE RATHBUN FAMILY, IT IS WITH GREAT SADNESS THAT I TRY TO PUT INTO WORDS WHAT WAYNE MEANT TO MY HUSBAND AND I. HE WORKED WITH AND WAS A GREAT FRIEND TO MY HUSBAND ANDY AND HE WAS A GREAT FRIEND TO ME WHEN I JOINED "TABLE". AFTER RETIREMENT HE ALWAYS CHECKED IN TO MAKE SURE THINGS WERE OKAY AND HE WILL BE SO MISSED BY THE WHOLE FAMILY. WAYNE...YOU WERE ONE OF A KIND MY FRIEND. SAVE US A SPOT FOR WHEN WE SEE YOU. LOVE AND GOD SPEED.
ANDY AND DAWN PARISEK

Wayne came to me as a young lad. He worked with me and for me for many years. We loved those Engine rooms.
Very sorry that he left us so young.
