Predeceased by his dad Doug. Sparkling eyes of turquoise, a smile that never ceased; here’s a man who loved to live and live to love and give. He chose to walk the sunny side, helping others see. Money may be lots of fun, but the best in life is free. A man of character and class, he held his head high, inspiring me to always reach no lower than the sky. A Funeral Service will be held on Friday, June 25th at Springfield Funeral Home, with Terry Lige officiating. In lieu of flowers the family is suggesting you do something that would have touched Wayne’s heart and follow his belief in – pay it forward. Please do something for someone and help out another; as that is the way Wayne lived his life.
