Betty and family, I was so sad to find this. I can still hear Waynes voice in my head. My brother and I still have great memories of painting Club Mirage for him long ago. We laugh about it still and Waynes voice message if ya called the club! A True one of a kind great human. He was a great mentor to many including me!
