Dear Sue,

I was so sad to hear that Wayne passed away. It was a gift that you
both started your life together at such a young age in High School.
May all those memories comfort you today. My thoughts are with you and your family.

Sincerely,

One of the first things that I remember about Wayne, which always makes me laugh is when he and Sue were driving down to the parking lot at Chelmsford high school in their 1960's van and noticed a car wheel flying by them bouncing over the speed bumps wondering "why is that wheel flying by us" and then kerplunk! The van stopped and tilted on its side and then they realized it was their wheel. Thanks for the wonderful memories. Wayne will surely be missed by all and I am deeply sorry to his family for losing such a wonderful person.

Edna and Kenny, I am so sorry to hear of Wayne's passing. There are so many memories of growing up together as next door neighbors, but the one that comes to mind is the night Wayne stole Donny's dinner and ran down Edgelawn Ave with Donny close behind. The memory of Wayne will always bring a smile to my face. I'm so glad we were able to get together at the reunion a couple of years ago. Our prayers are with you and your families.

I am so very sorry to hear of Wayne's passing. Wayne will be remembered in my heart as a wonderfully loving husband to one of my best friends Sue, and a loving and devoted father to Meredith and Marc. When I think of Wayne I have so many wonderful memories of Greenville, softball, playgrounds, and camping. I will never forget Wayne and I will miss him very much. My prayers are with you all in this time of sorrow. God bless you and keep you safe.

As many friends enter and leave our lives, Wayne was a true friend. When close or even distant, Wayne was a real friend to me. I will miss all the fun and camping trips we spent. All the REAL times that meant so much and left so many wonderful memories. I will truly miss you, I will miss you my friend.
