I attnded Pasadena High school with Wayne. He was a member of our 1950 Graduation. He was a fine young man and I know he will still be missed by his family and friends. He's in a better place with God now.

Very sorry to hear of Wayne's passing. He was a great friend in high school. I have not seen him in some time because I failed to make the reunion. I will always regret that. God bless his children and be with them through this time of sadness.

When I learned of the death of your husband and father, Psalms 116:15 came to mind. "Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his faithful servants." May the knowledge that he is with the Lord whom he loved so greatly, bring your heart peace and your mind ease.
