I am so sorry for you all. Wayne was an extremely friendly man. Volleyball has suffered a blow in this area. I don't know that I every saw Jeryle Lynn without Wayne close behind or beside. May the Lord wrap his loving arms around you all and give you some peace.

I went to school with Wayne at ARC. We were both in ROTC. Wayne was a friend to everyone. I can't remember ever seeing him without a smile on his face. God Bless

I remember Wayne from ARC and ROTC. Great guy. I remember once, when Wayne was a junior in high school, we were talking in the hall at ARC, and we watched as 2 big guys started cursing and bullying a much smaller kid. As the guys were laughing at the kid, Wayne abruptly said "Excuse me a second.", and walked over to those guys and let them have it! No, he didn't throw any punches, but he didn't have to! The 2 of them just got quiet and walked away. Wayne asked the smaller kid if he was okay, laughed, and said "Hey, we told them, didn't we?"! What a great memory that was of Wayne. Said alot about who he was.
God bless y'all.
