My heart goes out to the Young/DelPonte family and friends. Wayne, you will be tremendously missed. I will never forget the times when we were young and what great parents you and Karen have always been. You guys are one of a kind. Such a kind, open hearted man who always asked how everyone was doing. I feel honored to be a part of your families lives and you will never be forgotten. RIP Wayne, until I see you again.

Young Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. Wayne is an amazing person. I just saw him recently. He always helped my husband and I with landscaping questions and yard ideas. He loved to talk about his family and his horses. He will be greatly missed. I know he will be watching over all of you & you will feel his love.

Karen if you need anything please call us Joanne & Robert Lukacs
