Wayne was my 3rd to oldest cousin on the Rodriguez side of our family. The 8 of us were always a close family. He had a gentle way about him like my Parran Philip & was always there to help out at anytime. He would light up when speaking of his one & only Peggy Jo. Wayne was liked & loved by many & will be missed by all. ✝
