Wayne used to come into our store (Waxie) with a huge smile. I would always ask Wayne "how are you today"? His response was always the same "I'm Terrible" I would always respond well what do you expect, your a terrible guy, and we would laugh for several minutes. Wayne always had a kind word and a way to make us laugh. We will miss him very much

We lived next door to Wayne and GiGi for many years. You couldn't ask for better neighbors. Wayne was always busy, he even mowed his lawn in the dark several times because he ran out of daylight. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family GiGi.
