Like a lot of young men, my boys both grew up getting their haircuts at Wayne's. When the youngest wiggled too much, Wayne pulled that old rubber ear out of his drawer to tell him that was what happened to the last kid who did that. He also squirted his spray bottle at them from behind and told them one of the deer on the wall was spitting at them. Of course they believed it!
Wayne was always so generous, letting the kids pick out free candy each time. As a single mom, I appreciated that he didn't mind me sitting there, waiting on the boys to get done. It made for some fond memories, like the time one of my boys pointed to a guy in the chair and asked, "Why is he getting a haircut, Mom? He doesn't have any hair on top of his head."
I always learned what was going on in Newton whenever we stopped in at Wayne's. He seemed to know about all the building projects and news. Later, my mom paid for the boys' haircuts and would drop them off. Wayne was an important part of their growing-up years. They are sad to hear of his passing. We offer the family our deepest condolences and prayers.

You always made time for me to cut my hair even when it was last minute. You even felt bad you couldn't do it last week. I enjoyed sitting around talking after. I wish I had stuck around to talk more times than I did, but I'm glad I did the last time. You always asked about Monica and the boys, and would tell me to give them a hug from you, same with mom. I'll miss you friend.
