Cathy, so sorry to hear about Wayne’s passing. I remember Wayne playing 3rd base for our figure 8 softball team. A flick of his wrist and the ball flew into the 1st baseman’s globe. Remember the popping noise it made. We called him Popeye because his forearms were huge. Strong he was but there was a tender and warm side to Wayne. He loved his family tremendously and exuded family values we all aspire to have. I miss him too.
Love and peace, Jim Mayer.

Please accept my deepest sympathies and prayers during this difficult time. His presence among us will be deeply missed.
We spent many a Saturday afternoon or Friday evening on the football field officiating high school games together for many years. He was one of the most conscientious and efficient officials I ever worked with. He was a dear friend who will be sorely missed. God Bless.
