My deepest condolences to the entire Piper Family. So sorry for Your loss and praying the memories made and the Love shared with Wayne will echo in Your heart for years to come.
I met Wayne several years ago when he was visiting his sister (Cynthia Mercado) here in Maryland. Cynthia and I both was on the Trustee Board. At that time I needed assistance in cutting down a tree on the property. Cynthia recommended Wayne and introduce us. We bonded in brotherly Love immediately. Since that time we would periodically call each other until his illness.

Rest in Peace Brother Wayne Piper. I too shall see You over Yonder!!

Yesterday

Wayne warmly greeted me during my first week at CPS Energy. We made a special connection knowing we were both AF veterans. As we continued to work together over the years that followed, we shared unforgettable conversations and experiences that made us and our work very special. We became "champions" for each other and I truly appreciate the way he spoke into my life and the genuine interest he showed in our CPS Energy team members. His warmth, laughter and fellowship will be truly missed.

Joann & I pray that his children, grandchildren and family find peace and comfort knowing that Wayne left such an amazing legacy in so many before entering into his rest!
