Wayne enjoyed spending time with his loving wife, traveling, fishing, dancing, watching sports and hanging out with friends. He was always up for a good time and often said “The only time I say no, is when they ask if I’ve had enough!”

He would help anyone in need such as, a homeless man needing a job, someone needing a warm meal, a single mom needing a hand up, or a small business needing some things donated, etc.

The family is asking that in lieu of flowers, that donations be made to Trinity Lutheran Church or to your favorite charitable organization.
