Wayne grew up in Livonia, NY where he excelled in sports and was very proud that he was recruited from high school to the Braves as a catcher, but after an injury and unable to play Wayne enlisted in the military as a marine in the infantry division. After serving his country he received his truck driver certification and worked for a national trucking company for almost 20 years as a feeder driver where he received many awards for his exemplary driving skills. Wayne was the type of person who always had a smile on his face and greeted everyone as a good friend with a big hug. He was funny and sometimes goofy but one of the best people you would ever meet. His nickname at home was MacGyver because he could fix anything, solve any problem and was always willing to help everyone and anyone. He was known to stop and help a stranger who needed help. Wayne did everything with his family, and was happiest spending time with his wife and children. He prided himself as a master Griller and loved to cook for family and friends. He always had a funny story to tell and loved to make people laugh. Wayne was the best husband, father, son, brother, uncle, friend, neighbor, and patriot. He made all our lives better just for being around. Wayne was the type of man most strive to be. Unfortunately, our country denied Wayne re-entry back into the U.S. and he had to stay alone in a country where he didn’t speak the language and was given 3rd world country health care. His young family and all of his friends are devastated to lose such a wonderful man. The world needs more people like him, not less. As per his wishes, “please remove me from voter registration so I don’t vote Democrat and have to come back and haunt people.”
