Hardly a day goes by without thinking of the spirit, creativity and humor of Wayne. I was lucky to have him as a trusted friend for nearly 20 years.

I've known Wayne since 2001 when he began restoration of my 1956 trailer. Our friendship extended beyond trailers and hardly a month would go by that we weren't in touch or spending time together in Acton. I'm hoping that I may be able to get in touch with Wayne's family members so that I can extend my sympathy and condolences in a more direct way. Wayne was such an amazing man with a heart of gold and a laugh and smile that always gave me encouragement that everything will be alright. I miss him so much and so saddened by this loss. God bless you, Wayne for a life of kindness to everyone who had the good fortune to know him.
