Wayne was such a great person, mentor and all around good guy. He was my supervisor at work but he was more like a big brother to me and everyone else. I don't believe I ever met a person that didn't like him. He will be missed by all that knew him. My heart goes out to his family.

Wayne taught me the ropes of the bread delivery buisness when I was in my early 20's. Training with him was quite a learning experience. Not from just the training but just how to treat people. "Wayner" was a real people person. It's been more than 40 years since we last worked together but his charm,whit and honesty will always remain with me. Rest well my mentor and friend.
