Wayne was a loyal friend of mine over 57 years. His recent faith in Christ was a highlight that we both shared. Becky Barr (my wife and his classmate at Rural Hall Elementary School) and I count Wayne as a friend without peer. We miss him greatly and pray God's special grace will hold his family in His loving and comforting arms.

Wayne was a good man and great friend. A fierce competitor on the golf course who really loved the game. Wayne was always tinkering with his swing and clubs. He would call me late in the evening to talk about golf and say "partner, I´ve got it all figured out" only to call back a few days later to tell me something else. He was one in a million and will be missed by many friends.
