I Will remember you Wayne as a man of kindness band caring. You have left a fine legacy for your family. Rest in peace.
I first met Wayne on my Kawasaki Z1 at the corner of Big Tree and West lake road in 1974. He was on his Z1 and there was a look and nod then a drag race down West lake rd. We were great buddy’s after that, between boats, motorcycle deals and starting our family’s. I truly will miss my good friend of 51 years
My Wayne had so many great long time friends. Thanks Dave fir being one of them to the end!
Wayne and I were army friends and roommates in Detroit, Michigan as Military Policemen. We shared a house together in Hornell, NY while going to Alfred State College and I had the luck of meeting my wife of a 53 yrs. Through Wayne. RIP my friend.
John & Diane, I know that Wayne cherished your long time friendships. Thank you for remembering him.
Wishing you peace and comfort in your loss of Wayne.
