Wayne was a friendly man, very invested in helping the Sportsman Community. He was always the first one to volunteer his skills and experiences to educate others and had deep moral convictions of "do the right thing". I am personally going to miss him.

One of the best masons I ever had the pleasure to work with as an apprentice
He was able to lay 12s one handed like it was nothing
You were a great mentor and boss
Rest in peace my friend
