He loved his lifelong friends. Wayne will be greatly missed by many.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you please make a donation to Hospice Peterborough in Wayne’s name. There will not be a service. Instead, please play a song by George Jones or Patsy Cline or watch a movie with your loved ones.
