I'm so sorry to hear of Wayne's passing. I worked with him on an episode of Seinfeld in which Kramer tillered a Fire Dept ladder truck. Wayne played the Captain, I was the driver. He was a joy to work with, a true gentleman and a consummate professional. My best to the family, you're in my thoughts and prayers.
