Janice, Amy and Tammy, We are so very sorry for your loss and offer our deepest sympathy. Wayne and I attended school together graduating from Tri-City High in 1955 and Wayne drove the school bus that Joan rode. Janice your husband was always the gentleman at Tri-City, a very pleasant person. Dangling key chains for boys were in style and Wayne always wore his....most of the time from very nice slacks, me I wore one with my wrangler's...not quite the same. Wayne was a very sharp dresser then. I met him at several class reunions and his personality was the same then as in 1955. At Wayne's death the world did not lose a great leader nor a outstanding sports personality just a great husband, father, grandfather and a true gentleman with a wonderful testimony of his life. God bless each of you on this day and every day.
