I met Wayne forty years ago when I was hired as a clerk at the Scotch Plains NJ Post Office. He was friendly, welcoming, and we quickly discovered that we shared a similarly dark sense of humor. When he was promoted to supervisor, I took over his position as accountable mails clerk.
Wayne was also a very talented photographer, and when my folk-rock trio needed some publicity photos, he took us to the hills of Watchung and got some great shots of the band.
We remained good friends after he moved to Vermont, and had some great times together, even scaling Mt. Mansfield, the highest peak in the state! Wayne stood on the little 2´x2´ platform at the very peak (which, at the time, had no guardrails) and said, "You´ve GOTTA check out this view!" Not being as brave as Wayne, I stood about 10 feet away and said "Nah, I´m good here."
My deepest condolences to his family and friends. And much gratitude to his niece Christina, for taking care of him so well in recent years.
Safe travels, Wayne, and enjoy whatever comes next!
