To Wayne´s family, I´m sorry for your loss. Two of my fond memories of Wayne: He immediately endeared
me to him the first day We met at Pickleball when he wore a pink tee shirt that said " Real men wear Pink"! I hope you save that shirt in his memory! Also , Wayne always `brought the party´, whenever anyone from his pickleball group had a birthday, HE was the one who made it special at the Y with donuts or cupcakes to celebrate. What a beautiful legacy. So glad I met him.

Wayne was such a kind classy man and I so enjoyed playing pickleball and spending social times with him at pickleball get togethers. Just a good fun man to be around. I am so saddened by his passing. RIP Wayne and my sincere sympathy to his family. Jim/Pat Ditch
