Wade was a Professional Magician, having performed magic most of his life. He and Maxine had traveled and he had performed over much of the southern United States. He thoroughly enjoyed performing for kids and public speaking. He never had a speech pre-planned; he just talked about what came to mind at the time.

Wade is survived by his wife, Maxine of Gravity; a brother, Lloyd Ambrose of Gravity, a sister, Iola Miller of Iowa City; along with many nieces and nephews.
Preceding Wade in death are his parents, Frank and Lena; a daughter, Alice Ann, in 1944; two brothers, Gail Ambrose and Jack Ambrose; and a sister, Geraldine Souder.
