Wayne Laipert Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
A true lover of jazz music and a master storyteller. Wayne's life was rich with experiences and joy, full of the kind of adventure that comes from saying "yes" more than "no," and finding humor even in chaos. He brought light and warmth wherever he went, and those lucky enough to know him will carry his stories-and his spirit-with them always.
He is survived by his beloved brother Joseph Laipert and devoted son Ryan Laipert, who will continue to share his stories, his laughter, and his love of life. Wayne will be deeply missed, fondly remembered, and forever celebrated.In the end, Wayne Laipert lived exactly as he wished-fully, boldly, and with heart.
Funeral mass will take place Wednesday, July 30 at 10:30 AM at Queen of Heaven Catholic Church, located at 1800 Steese Road in Uniontown. The family will receive friends starting at 10:00 AM. In lieu of flowers, a donation may be made in Wayne's name to the American Lung Association.

I knew Wayne for thirty years, a real gentleman and a class act. I also umpired with him for those years, trust me if you ever needed your back covered Wayne was the man. Outstanding behind the plate, he is who every coach wanted in the big game. Rest well friend

My name is Ed Incle, and I used to umpire college baseball with Wayne in New York. He was a solid umpire who formerly worked in the minor leagues. But, much more important than that, he was a good partner. Wayne was always willing to step into a situation on the baseball diamond and handle it with aplomb, calmness, and appeal. Wayne will be sorely missed, and may the peace of Jehovah that transcends all human understanding descend upon Wayne´s family during this season of grief, sorrow, and loss.

Sorry to hear of your passing Wayne. You were my brother John Texiera´s best friend and sort of a 2nd brother to me. Always ready to tell on me when I was into mischief. Rest in Peace Wayne Francis.
