In memory of
Tom and Linda Smolich

We had many years of telling jokes and laughing and discussing "Disney" memorabilia as he did our taxes. He not only was a personable and funny guy, but he was very "Tax Code Savvy." He went out of his way to save us money while reviewing our taxes during our tax appointment and also made tax reduction suggestions for the next year. Rest in Peace my friend.

I give you my deepest sympathy. I have so many fond memories of New Years Eve's, Rotary outing's and the jewelry store with Wayne and you, Jan. I sure enjoyed viewing the Disney collection and hearing of your great times there.
Love, Shirley

Memories of Wayne go back to when we had our J&L Deli on Perterson Rd and Warren and or he would deliver "pop" to our store. Our deepest sympathy to all of you during this time. Wayne's was a life to be celebrated.

Hello Clauss Family:
It's been an awful long time.. So sorry to hear of Wayne's passing.. I have so many fantastic memories of your family and the fun we had together. Playing Emergency! in the basement on Sunnyside and hanging out when the jewelry store moved to Rockland Road.
I know it's been years, but I am truly a better person because of Wayne & Jan and your family and I am grateful to God for that time we had together.
Condolences and I do hope to see you sometime.
Greg Smith.

Wayne was a fine individual who I both respected and enjoyed as a friend. Since 1993, when Don Hughes and I first met Wayne and his lovely wife Jan at a Disneyana convention in California, we have kept in touch. Less than one month ago (May 9, 2017), Don and I shared a wonderful dinner with Wayne and Jan at the Grand Floridian Cafe, Walt Disney World, during their vacation. We shared fond memories and current adventures over a delightful meal in a beautiful Disney environment. It was a magical evening, and I know that both Wayne and Jan had a wonderful week visiting Orlando. So, I find happiness during this very sad time--happiness that Wayne and Jan were able to create some fresh magical memories during a great Disney trip not so very long ago. I will fondly remember Wayne--not because his birthday was very close to the birthday of Mickey Mouse--but because he was definitely a memorable guy who I liked a lot! To Jan and Wayne's family--we love you and are praying for your peacefulness at this challenging time.

My heart goes out to all the family. Wayne was the best father-in-law a person could ask for. I know he will be missed dearly. My children and grandchildren knew him as Grandpa Disney and that is how they will always remember him. He is with the Lord now, in a much better place. I am hoping that he will get to meet Walt Disney and share his stories with him. You are loved Wayne and will be missed.
