Wayne was a gentleman and a friend. I was part of an industrial softball team that played in Johnson city every year back in the 70's heyday. I will never forget the kindness that Wayne and his great Giant Wholesale teams showed while they were beating everyone. The old Bowater Softball boys will never forget Wayne and it saddens me to hear of his passing. Prayers for his family.
