Wayne enjoyed umpiring little league, high school and college baseball, along with hunting, fishing, boating, crossword puzzle, sudoku, playing cards and reading. He loved rebuilding anything broken and watching anything Auburn.

Wayne is reunited in Heaven with his parents and many other family members.
