Not sure what to say?

Dad, still can't believe your gone kids and I miss you very much. The kids all have little things that belonged to you and treasure them. I hope you are looking down on us.


Gail, I am so sorry to hear of Wayne's passing. Wayne will always be that shy neighborhood boy to me. Where has the time gone? We must get together again when we get home from Florida. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family.

In youth, your father is a teacher, mentor, and protector. Through the prism of youth you don't always see it that way.

As you grow older and become a parent yourself, you gain new insight and respect for his role in shaping the person you have become. Your relationship shifts to friendship, still heavy on the mentoring.

There are many things that I will miss now that my father, my friend is gone. That gleam in his eye that signaled a one liner was on the way that was sure...

Dear Terry,
Sorry for the loss of your dad, he loved his little girl. You and your family will be in my prayers and thoughts.
Terry Archambault (Archie)

So sorry for your loss, I remember Wayne when we were kids at Sebago Lake in Raymond Me and feel your pain, may rest in peace, Hugs to Mike and Noreen.

So sorry to hear of your loss Terry. You and your family are in our prayers

I worked with Wayne during my short time at BAE. We went on a business trip together with another coworker and I love telling everyone my story of shouting for him to board our plane at the Philadelphia airport. God bless Wayne and the Zahares family.

Remembering my older brother

Wayne was not only my big brother but also,
my role model, best friend and mentor.
Tutoring me with the finer points of fishing,
hunting, water and snow skiing, boat racing,
the passion of car and boat ownership.
Honoring me as my best man at our wedding,
always there when you needed his advice.
A deep thinker, involved with the design of military weapons
whose function he could never talk about.
Respected by all for his quiet...

I worked with Wayne for many years at BAE Systems in Merrimack. He was a great guy to work with. Carried his share of the load and smiled while doing it. He will be missed by all.
