Wayne was my lifelong friend. We were born 2 weeks apart to mothers who were best friends. Although we did not see each other often, we were in touch often. I will miss his presence in my life. I will miss his caring messages every holiday and his funny sense of humor. I loved him like a brother. Rest in peace my lifelong friend until we meet again.

So sad to read this news!!! We all hung out together ,,,, Canevin and beyond and created many gut busting laughs and of course a bit of TROUBLE on the side! I moved to Ariizona/Colorado after college so our schenanigans back in PA kinda stopped for me and I heard he continued to have much FUN through the 'grapevine'. May God embrace you Wayne and continue those belly laughs in Heaven.....

Wayne was a big part of my life and I will miss him greatly. He was a step dad to me, even though him and my mom were not married. Wayne was a funny and corny guy who loved his old cowboy movies and old country music. He was good to my mom and took care of her for years when she was sick. I beleive they took care of each other. Rest in peace Wayne. You are missed and loved and please say hello to my mom. Love you, bud.
