I was a teacher at Franklin during Wayne's time with the Board of Education. He would many times stop by when in our building to give a "thank you for your efforts." He was indeed a kind and caring man.

Wayne visited with me during Franklin's Open House events and many times when at our building he would just stop by to say "hello, and how are things going?" He was a kind and caring man.

Fond memories of Debate days last WHS with Eric and our Kathy....Ginny and Ron always the best supporters.....so sorry for your loss...

Although I only knew him over the past 3 or 4 years, he was always seemed to be such a kind gentle man with one of the most contagious smiles I'?ve ever seen that would light up everyone in the room, even in the most difficult or uncomfortable of situations. I will never forget that smile. I am happy I got to meet and know him and Linda, even if it was only for a short time.

I am very sorry to hear about Wayne's passing. I too worked with Wayne at National Oats. He was very professional in dealing with all employees and was an asset to the community.

I too worked with Wayne at National Oats. I remember he always had a smile on his face or a joke to tell. My sympathy to everyone in his family.

Worked with Wayne for many years at National Oats. Now I see we were both born in May, 1940. We worked on several projects together and had a good time. Condolences to his family.

Linda, Eric, Corey, Susan, Mark, Catherine, and Gina, Wayne has been our friend for over 35 years, and we treasure the relationship we had with him. Wayne was a quiet, caring man with a deep faith and sense of humor. We celebrated the Super Bowl each year with him and Jinny, as well as many other occasions. We can clearly say to Wayne, "Well done, good and faithful servant." Praying for you all to be surrounded by the loving arms of Jesus. Greg and Mary Lehner

Linda, I worked with Wayne for years in the HR department at National Oats and he always had a good joke for me to brighten my day. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time.
