I’m so sorry to hear about Waynes passing a few years ago. My condolences go to the family. He help me get a start in Alaska along with his daughter Barbara, Paving the way to an interview with Alyeska pipeline. I always enjoyed going over to their house and visiting with Wayne and Betty, lost touch after I left Alaska but I always thought of them and what they did for me. Miss them all and best wishes to Betty, Barbra and family. John

Dad you were very loved, I miss you dearly.

Thank You for your Service and it was a pleasure to meet you.

I knew Wayne when we worked for GAB in Alaska. A very nice man and very professional in his work. I always enjoyed my time with him and looked forward to those occasions.

Your country thanks you for your military service. Rest now for a life well lived, Wayne Rockne.
