Clinette, Beth and I were very sorry to hear of Wayne's passing. Wayne and I worked together in Baltimore way back in 1988. We traveled the Southern Division together and Wayne was a delite to work with. He was liked and respected by everyone we came into contact with. I know that he will be missed greately. He loved his family dearly and talked about you and the boys often when we traveled together. Beth and I will keep you and your family in our prayers.

Clinette:
Chris and I were both shocked and saddened by Wayne's passing. I remember Wayne as a person everyone liked to be around. He had a great sense of humor, was a very intelligent and hard-working man, and loved his family very much. (I still have the lapel pin Wayne gave me which proclaimed Belzoni as the catfish capital of the world.) He will be missed. Chris and I will keep you and your family and Wayne in our prayers.

Clinette, needless to say, I was shocked when you called last night. As everyone else has expressed here, Wayne was such a great person and I am glad we stayed in touch over the years. Will never forget the great times we had in Maryland - Wayne was such a delight to just be around and know. Please know that Sandra and I will be praying for you and the boys and will never forget the time we spent together.

To Doug's family - Please accept our deepest sympathy. My husband, Johnny, worked with Doug at USF&G in Columbia and I worked with him at Travelers. Doug was always so kind, with a wealth of insurance knowledge that he never minded sharing. He was a pleasure to know and work with. We've never met, or known, a finer man than Doug. Please know that he will be truly missed by us, as well as, his Travelers family. We will keep all of you in our thoughts and prayers. Sincerely, Annette & Johnny Starnes, Columbia, South Carolina

To all the McClures and Millwoods,
I was saddened to hear of Wayne's tragic death. Wayne was closer to my oldest brother's age, but I always knew what a great guy he was, hearing it from others. All of you will be in my prayers. Paula and Kyle, please know that I'm praying for y'all in Indianola.

Dear Family,
I had only seen Wayne a few times but felt as if I knew him and all of you through his precious mother, Ann, with whom I worked for many years at Guaranty Bank. She was so proud of all of her children and their families. My heart breaks for you and your family. I pray that all of you will feel God's comfort and strengh in the days ahead. With sincerest sympathy,

Dear Clinette, Doug & Matt,
My deepest sympathies. Wayne was a great co-worker and offered great expertise and information on the accounts that we handled together. Unfortunately, I never had the privilege to meet him in person. All of our discussions were over the phone or email. God Bless You all in this time of great sadness! You and Wayne are in my thoughts and prayers. Dolly L. Frazier

Clinette, we are so very sorry for your loss. We cannot imagine what you, Matt and Doug are feeling but God knows and he will bring you through this. Wayne was a wonderful person and it was a pleasure knowing him and working with him through the years at USF&G and then St. Paul. Back then we were all like family and Wayne was a wonderful friend. Our prayers are with you through this very difficult time. May God comfort you during this difficult time. We are now in Ohio by way of job transfers etc but our home is NC.

Belzoni is in mourning for the loss of Wayne. He was such a sweet and gentle person, just like the rest of the McClure family. It was always so good to see him when he visited Belzoni. Please know that you and the boys are in our prayers. Love to Tim, Paula and Kyle.

Clinette,
I am so very sorry. This hits so close to home for me and brings up so many sad feelings. As you know from my history, I do know what you're feeling all too well. A greater guy I've never met. Such a loss and I will miss him. Just weeks ago we spoke about maybe going duck hunting this fall.
I've suffered through this too with the loss of my daughter almost six years ago. I am living proof you, Matt and Doug can get through this. One day at a time.
Again, I am so very sorry and you have my greatest sympathy.
