To the Jordan family, I am so saddened to learn of Wayne's passing. I knew him all the way back to when we were 16 & I worked at Maple Shade in Guilford as a waitress. I believe I met him throught either Mike Brennan or Scott Osberg. I will always remember the smile on his face, how funny & happy he always was. My thoughts & prayers go out to you. Judy Varley, formerly of Madison, Ct.

I am very sorry to hear about Wayne's passing. My condolences to his family.
I met Wayne playing darts in our Monday night league. Played against Wayne and Doug for years. The 19 was Wayne's favorite number on the dart board. My dart partner and I would always switch our strategy when we played against him to make sure our 19's were closed before our 20's!
I would always get a smile out of him whenever I played Jethro Tull on the Jukebox. I would try to find the most obscure songs and he would know them all!
He was a great person and will be missed.
Cheers Wayne,
-Paul

I am so sorry to hear of Wayne's Passing. I know how hard it is to loose a loved one to cancer I also lost my husband to that cancer. I was very fortunate to have known Wayne all the while growing up in Guilford. My brother was one of Wayne and Eddies best friend. So he was quite frequently at my house. Wayne was a wonderful person and am glad that I will still have all my childhood memories.
