Mr. Wayland Cato was such a gentle soul. He taught me how to etch glass in his garage. His unending patience and dedication to his art made him a most outstanding human being.

It is hard to imagine the depth of Mr. Cato's impact on Charleston and the Lowcountry. He was a true visionary who knew how to translate vision into a reality that affected so many lives.

Mr. Cato made my scholarship possible at UNC Chapel Hill´s Kenan Flagler business school. His fund and dedication to education made my time in college the most enriching, rewarding, adventurous, and impactful time of my life. I have no words, thank you for everything.

Providence Community welcomed the young Cato family in the early 1950´s. The Alexander family lived in the community and got to know the family, I was young but old enough to "baby sit" when needed, which was often. 12-20 yrs of age. I loved all of the Cato family! Wonderful people, they hold a special place in my heart and young growin up years. They trusted me with things I´m not sure now that I new what I was doing. Many trips together and community gathering.
Wayland you were always so thoughtful and interested in my life!
Thank you, Margaret and children!
Love

I´m so sorry for your loss. My mother worked for the Cato Corporation in the mid 90s. I was a recipient of the Cato Scholarship, which was used toward my nursing degree. I was just looking at the photo my mother and I took with Mr. Cato during the award presentation. I remember him being very kind.

Wayland etched glassware to put up for bid at the CPCC Sporting Clays shoot to support vetrans, and I was lucky enough to outbid many other bidders to obtain these precious items. There are many memories of Wayland. He had a great soul!
