Wayne and I worked together delivering beer for over 20 years. Even though we worked for different companies for most of those years,we still worked side by side almost every day. He was a good man and a good friend,and he will be surely missed. My condolences to Holly and to the rest of his family.

I am so sorry to hear of Waynes passing. We grew up together in York, played together , found love together (marrying girls from the neighborhood who were also friends) and even sought careers in the same field together. Even though later in life we didn't see as much of one another he will be sadly missed. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all of his family and friends. Go with Gods speed my friend.
Steve Crider and family.
