So sorry for your loss. I don't know if your Wayne is the same one I knew as a child. Wayne was our paper boy. He was about ten yrs older than me. Just remember him as a handsome and athletic young man about 16 or so.

He was such a handy man and could do anything and was willing to help others. I personally thank him for his help in the Park wood shop. Where ever Wayne was, he made a difference. So, friend, rest in peace.
