Lynn & family,
This Saturday November 29th will be one year since Wayne's passing. As I said last January when I heard the news, he was my favorite actor. I wish I could have met him. I think of him very often and hope all of you are doing well.

My condolences to Wayne´s family! Alzheimer´s is a terrible disease! God bless his family and friends My husband,Steven B Northrop, predeceased Wayne a few years ago. They were cousins and both went to the same high school. One the actor and Steve into music. I hope they have met back up again in heaven with their family members!

So sorry to hear about Wayne’s passing. His portrayal of Roman Brady on Days of our Lives was one of my favorites. I was able to meet Wayne at a fan event in 2006. I remember him being very funny and telling jokes. My condolences to his family and friends.

Lynn,
I just read about Wayne's passing. I am so sorry. He was my favorite actor. I always enjoyed watching him on Days Of Our Lives. His character (Roman Brady) and Stefano Dimera (Joseph Mascolo) were bitter enemies on the show. He was my favorite actor because his character was a very ingenious law enforcement official. If I had ever met Wayne, it would have been a true honor. I am so sorry for your loss.

Lynn, I am SO sorry to hear of Wayne's passing. I only recently knew he had dementia (such a terrible diagnosis). I will remember the good times visiting with Wayne and you at the ropings and in town. One particular fond memory is when Wayne and you hired me to go to Santa Cruz and pick up the train trucks for the museum. Many thanks for all Wayne and you did and do for the community. Much love to you and the kids in this difficult time.

Lynn,
I am deeply saddened by the recent passing of Wayne. I have many fond memories from when I met you both when you were both guest hosts on the Local Cerebral Palsy Telethon in Green Bay, WI. I also watched you both on daytime TV. You and Wayne so graciously gave of your time and the times spent with you both will be cherished forever. My love, thoughts, and prayers are with you, Hank, and Grady during this time and years to come.

I will always remember Wayne when I worked as the production coordinator on Dynasty. I was so glad that he and Lynn came to my wedding in those way back days. Wayne was very, very funny. We all sang 12 days of Christmas on the Fox lot, and no one could remember where the turtle doves or any of the pipers piping were in the song. I don't know if I have ever laughed that hard. Safe journey. You made a difference.
