I am very saddened to learn of my friend and classmate Wayne´s passing. We enjoyed many memorable times together at the class reunions and texting over the years. He was a great classmate with a wonderful sense of humor. We will all miss him! My deepest condolences to his family. Rest in peace, Wayne.
