Wayne was a WONDERFUL gentleman and always a pleasure to be around. I will really miss Wayne and his kindness. Thankfully, Sue was around and Wayne and Sue were THE perfect couple, in my opinion. They were such a great match and each took care of each other so lovingly. God Bless Wayne and may he rest in peace. My sincerest condolences to Sue and your whole Family.

What will I do without my coffee buddy? It was/is hard enough being without Jo and now you are with her, telling her what to say! I will miss you and Sue forever and your wild adventures to see the World's Largest Rubber Band Ball, Noah's Ark, etc. You will always be one of the brightest stars in the sky and I will think of you with great affection and love!

Wayne was a wonderful neighbor, always looked out for the block. He was friendly to the kids, gave great advice on planting and loved to talk about the neighborhood. I will miss seeing him on the front porch sitting on his blue chair. Rest in paradise Wayne, you will be missed but never forgotten.

I will always remember Wayne for the funny, giving, full of life man that he was. Few people have touched me in the way that Wayne was able to touch so many! We shared SO MANY laughs and good times as he attended my classes at Mather's. He was always "busy", but not too busy to to give joy to everyone who knew him. Whether tending to the plants, or just sitting with all of the exercisers from class, he made things grow! I wish I had spent more time with him. It was always a joy to see the love that he and Sue shared. My heart aches for the loss that I know she now suffers. We all share that loss. But, if there is a God, we'll all meet Wayne once again in heaven!

Wayne and Sue were one of the Most loving couples that I’ve known. The love, caring and respect they had for each other just beamed whenever they were around. Wayne was a very kind gentlemen with a great sense that of humor, always ready for a new adventure to share with the love of his life. He will be greatly missed by his family and friends, but mostly by Sue who was his caring partner. Your family and friends love you Sue and are here for you through this most difficult part of your life. My prayers remain with all that loved Wayne.

What a grand and fun friend. We met one another at our morning work outs when you were courting Sue. You love her so much. You even gave me the opportunity to give my opinion on the gifts you gave her. How special you and Sue were. Fun times we had at your wedding and your "Portage Park Theater" birthday. Those were some great times that I will remember always. Peace friend.
