Wayne was such a gentle soul. He loved keeping up to date on this website and was so appreciative of the work that went into it. His enthusiasm and delight at seeing so many classmates at the 50th reunion was obvious. I am grateful to have come to know him better just from our conversations In the year prior to that event.

My heart sank yesterday when I heard. He was so sweet and never forgot my Birthday. He was even a week ahead sometimes. We had so much fun at the reunion. I teased him about standing in the one spot holding the wall up. Finally caught him sitting down and planted a lipstick 💄 outline on top of his bald head. His wife Harriet laughed about that also. Remember how Sweet he always was and how nice it was to catch up at the reunion. He was one I was particularly going to look for at the next reunion. It won't be the same without his big smile.
My heart goes out to Harriet. I know that emptiness so well, just let every tear be a memory and it will sustain you for a lifetime... even though it will take time. We Panthers will always be just a phone call or email away.

Wayne looked forward to attending our reunions and always made sure that I knew how to contact him when the dates drew near. He loved his classmates, and I think during the past five years this website served as a lifeline for him.
