I am so sorry to learn that Wayne has passed. I knew him from Unity of Greater Hartford, where he and Joyce contributed their joy and energy as Prayer Chaplains. They were a pleasure to know. I send my deepest sympathy to their daughters and their families. You have faced two great losses, first your Mom and now your Dad. May you be comforted by the love of family and friends at this time.

Wayne was such a pleasant, friendly, thoughtful LGH Third Age Initiative team member. It was a pleasure getting to know him and I am truly saddened to hear of his passing. Praying for your family.

Missing you, Dad! You were an awesome parent and you and Mom made such a great team. Thank you for all you taught me- the most important lessons of life. Honesty and genuineness- to yourself and others. You modeled for me how to cope with life, including death as you courageously walked forward when Mom died. I'm so sad to see you go, but feel at peace that you're not in pain and are with Mom now. Love you much! Michelle (Michelle Lisa as you called me ;-))
