Just read about Wayne's death. He was my first real boyfriend. We met in 1972 and dated until 1977. Wayne was the dearest and kindest friend I ever had. He supported me in every way he could to ensure that I graduated from college. I had been searching for him periodically but was always unsuccessful until now. Sadly this time I found him a little over a year too late. He will always be in my memories as the gentle giant he was to me. God bless the Scott family. He really loved his family.
