Pam and Becky,
We are so sorry to hear of Wayne's passing, as the earth has lost a wonderful man. Pam, you and Wayne were instrumental in being examples of Christ-like faith for us to emulate when we were young marrieds. Wayne was the epitome of a soft spoken, kind, and thoughtful gentleman. We are thankful to have known him. Praying for you and all of the family as you grieve his absence until you see him again.

Pam, I am so sorry to hear of Wayne's passing. But I can also smile, just imagining the glorious time he is now having in the presence of our Lord! I will never forget Wayne as one of the most loving, caring, giving men I have ever met. Being welcomed into your beautiful home, and his leadership of the "young marrieds" group at church made a difference for many of us. I can't imagine how badly you will miss him, and pray that God will comfort you, be ever close to you, and wipe away your tears. Hang on to the knowledge that you will be together again eternally.

I have wonderful personal and professional memories of Wayne. In our 12 years working together in the senior lab course sequence in the School of Chemical Engineering, I can't recall one instance where we disagreed or couldn't find a light moment even in the most busy times. On the golf course we shared many pleasant rounds. I will certainly miss his cheerful smile, greeting and wit.

Pam,
I was sorry to hear of Wayne's passing. He was a man of strong faith, that was the first thought I had when I remembered him. I remember fellowshipping with both of you at Cornerstone. God bless you and all the family.
