I met Wayne in 1968, I believe, when I went to work at ,then, Warwick Electronics, my first real job. I always remember him as a very kind, soft spoken man who treated everyone with respect and kindness. Please accept my condolences at this time. God bless you all.
Dear Marilyn,
I heard about you losing your brother, Wayne, and my heart goes out to you and your family. Please know that I will keep you in my prayers and close in my heart. This is a heavy load to carry by yourself, so let your friends and family help you. Keep your faith and trust in God and He will guide you thorough it all. I love you dear friend. Anna
P.S. I would love to hear from you sometime. I may be back for a short visit in October.
I was a member of the Central High Graduating Class of 59' with Wayne. I remember him as being warm, friendly and always willing to give a helping hand. He was dependable and well liked. God be with you. I'm so sorry for your loss; we have all lost someone special.
Wayne joined the Navy when i was young. It seemed that he was gone forever but it was only about 4 years.I was so happy when his service commitment was over. He played a major role in providing for our family for several years. He never missed work, even when he was under the weather. He never complained about his responsibilities. We listened to the St. Louis Cardinals on KFFA and rarely missed a game. He taught me how to play baseball (how to throw a curve ball and field) with hours of time spent when he got home from work each day even though he was tired. He was a gentle and kind person and one of the most intelligent people I have ever known. God bless him and I am proud to say he was my big brother. Marilyn, I know how close you were with Wayne. I pray that God will provide you with strength in the coming months.
Sorry to hear of Wayne's passing. I am a member of the Central class of 59. He was a friend back then.
So sorry to hear of your passing. You will be missed by all your family and friends. Darlene Class of 1959
Marvin & I both went to school with Wayne and remember him as such a sweet and quiet guy. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family at this time.

He was in the Navy, in a neat blue uniform. He stood so tall next to me. He was soft spoken and, it seemed, his smile was rare. But, he let me, a 6-year-old cousin he rarely saw, play with his model planes. And he showed me his books and would talk to me about airplanes and ships. And, he made me smile & laugh. He didn't seem to mind my watching his every move and following him all around the house. Those are my earliest memories of my cousin. They only get better from there.
Marilyn & Tina, I'm so sorry for your loss. More than words can say. Wayne was a good man who loved his family...including those that pestered him the most!
Thoughts and Prayers are with you Marilyn, and
your Family. Sharing your love and time as you did each day as a sister, will always leave you those special memories. Wayne was a good person, enjoyed knowing him through our school years. He will be missed.
Sorry to learn of Wayne's passing. I have many memories of our school days. The Lord's peace be with Marilyn and family.
He will be missed. My prayers to Marilyn and family.
What great memories I have of my cousin. He, Marilyn and I had such good times when we visited for weeks at a time during the summer. He will be missed by us all. Prayers to you Marilyn.
So sorry to hear about Wayne. We were buddies way back In Jr. High school. I remember he made me laugh a lot.
A good friend you could depend on.I am sure the Lord is taking care of him.Thank you Wayne for your friendship a long time.
I looked up Wayne's photo in an annual. I remembered him as a nice quiet guy - one of a few like that that I remember. Sad that so many of our classmates are no longer with us. But, we can know that we will be together again some day.
Sorry to hear about the passing of one of my high school classmates from the class of 1959. My sympathy to Marilyn and other family members. Our loss is Heaven's gain.
Dear Marylen & family,
I am saddened to hear of Wayne's passing. May God comfort you as you walk through this valley. As you told me once, you have your memories. You are in my prayers.
