Condolences to the family. Wayne never met a stranger. Outgoing and loved life. He certainly had the "Ellington" wit! Rest in peace.

We remember Wayne as a man who enjoyed life and who embraced every moment he could He loved his children, and his sisters and brothers. Good times and cooking out with his loved ones, just being together with family and friends. He will be missed by us all, but we know he is with our heavenly father in heaven. Rest peacefully my friend.
