From Jan Montano: It is with great sadness that I am making this post. Wayne passed away on Wednesday, August 23, 2023, after a short illness. There will be a private family service at the Veterans Cemetery in Boise, where his ashes will be placed. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to the Disabled American Veterans (DAV). I will be closing the business over the next few months. Any repairs that he did not get to will be returned the customer. Thank you all for a great 42 years in business. Wayne loved what he did. He will be missed. - Jan Montano Wayne was a great friend and a thoughtful, quality person. So many great memories. I was privileged to have known him.

I remember Wayne’s invites to amazing pool parties at his home, fun days at The Wedge, trips to the mountains, OCIR, cruising Wittier Bouvard in his lift chassis Corvette... Later he earned national notoriety as a, if not the expert restorer of antique glass and crystal. I remember my wife and I spending a day with him and Jan in Old Town Orange where virtually every shop owner greeted him at the door. Wayne was a great friend to many and a thoughtful, quality person. So many great memories. I was privileged to have known him. Thank you Wayne, you made the world a better place.
