I knew of Wayne through his wonderful son Raphael (a former student of mine in what seems a lifetime ago), his wife Rosemary and sisters-in-law Brenda, Tina and Charlene. It was a shock to hear of his passing. I send my deepest sympathy and hold him, all of his family and many friends in my thoughts and prayers at this very sad time.
