He was an amazing friend and I enjoyed doing craft shows with him and appreciated so much what he taught me in making crafts.

Just heard today of Wayne's passing. I am so sorry and my deepest condolences to Wayne's family. My late husband Noel Stubbe and I camped at Lake Arrow Head with Wayne for years and had such a great time and share so many memories of him.

Wayne and I had so many fun times doing craft shows. He got me stared in making pens and we started doing show together. He taught me so much in making many items on the lathe as well as other machines to make canes and walking sticks. I will miss him forever.
