To the entire Basilone family, my deepest sympathy on the loss of a truly kind, gentle, and wonderful man. Wayne was a dear friend of mine, for whom I have known for nearly 50 years. We spent many times together eating out or eating together with other friends from Ortho, just talking about all our good times we all had together.
"Rest in peace to a DEAR FRIEND, who went home to be with the Lord, way before his time".
