Wayne retired in 1995 from his work as an Automobile Detailer. He worked for several car dealerships; including, Lynn Chevrolet, Brake Pontiac, Snowberger Oldsmobile, and Dean Hebb's. He was a member of Otterbein Church, Waynesboro. He was a hobbyist, enjoying tinkering with things, whether it was a lawn mower, a weed whacker, or something else, he often found new uses for everyday objects. One of his greatest joys came from spending time with his grandkids. He was a jolly man with just the right amount of ornery to make him loveable!
