He would spend weekends boating on the river and enjoyed restoring old Chris Craft boats. Wayne was a volunteer at The Friends of the Valley Railroad since 1990, spending weekends clearing the tracks so everyone could enjoy the train rides along the river to the Goodspeed. He will be sorely missed by all Camp Bethel community.
