I'm so sorry to learn of the passing of my great uncle Gene Wayne. I remember the many times we would visit the family reunions as a child in Brown County, Indiana and would see Gene Wayne and Ann. I know he will be greatly missed by all.

Ann,

Gene made a difference in Mansfield. He has helped many people and was a good mentor and friend to me. Deanna and I will miss the lunches and time we had to talk about business, life and what should be the next home project. Do not hesitate to reach out for any assistance over the next several months. God bless you and family.
