Family of Wayne,
I was deeply saddened to hear about Wayne.
We had just become reaquainted over the net a few years ago.
We had so much fun as kids growing up on High Street; listening to his music in the garage and at the creamy whip Etc. and walking with him delivering Journal News papers on Campbell Ave and Dayton St. Sweet memories.
May your soul be at peace as I am sure it is.
Donna

Wayne,
You played your way to heaven and the angles will be listening to your music now. I know your Nashville friends are proud. We were neighbors growning up and school chums at Harding. May peace be with you. Your friends Linda and Morris.
