Wayne made everyone laugh. He was a big guy and his heart matched his stature. He had many friends who counted on him for a happy spirit, which he had right up to the end. He was a very sweet soul. He loved Heavy Metal music. He was a self taught electric guitar player and could sing the lyrics to so many songs in that genre. His guitars and Amps were with him at the Rehab Center and he did some shows there for them from time to time. He was invited to be on the Resident Committee at the Rehab Center and was very vocal about the care others received if he thought they needed to be advocated for. The Director of the Rehab Center knew very well that Wayne had a sincere desire to help others and speak up about care that he suggested could be improved upon.

He was a beautiful soul and he is dearly missed by his family and many friends.
