Wayne was a proud Freemason and spent his spare time hunting, fishing, taking road trips to the mountains, cruising through Alaska, and reminding his wonderful wife of fifty years how much he loved her. He also treasured his three granddaughters, Alexandra, Samantha, and Jessica.

Wayne is survived by his wife; two children; three granddaughters; sister, Bobby Joyce; and two nephews.
