Wayne was united in marriage to Leontina Bentz of Norfolk, Nebraska on December 19, 1936 in Yankton. On October 8, 1942, their only child, Carol Kay (Walter) Halva was born. They lived in Scotland where Tina worked as a waitress and Wayne was a mechanic. In 1943, they bought a farm west of Scotland and Wayne became engaged in farming. Wayne loved and enjoyed farming for many years and did not retire until 2004, at 87 years old.
In 1952, Wayne and Tina took in Tina’s niece, Judy Hebbert, and she lived with them for several years. He enjoyed going out and dancing with his special friend, Olive Gran. He also enjoyed working on antique cars and going to car shows. He took special pride in driving his 1942 Chevy pickup and 1928 Ford Roadster in the annual Czech Days parade in Tabor. Wayne will be especially missed by his best buddy, Michael Golter of Tea, with whom he chatted on the phone several times throughout each day.
Wayne passed away on Wednesday, February 17, 2010 at the Good Samaritan Society of Scotland, having attained the age of 93 years, 5 months and 5 days. Wayne’s memory will be cherished by his three granddaughters: Debra (Mike) Golter of Tea, Tammy (Roger) Stock of Yankton, and Kim (Chris) Jones of Sioux Falls; three great-grandchildren: Amy Adams of Las Vegas, Nevada, Stacey Grimme of Yankton and Jordan Dunham of Sioux Falls; five great-great-grandchildren: Alex, Jason Wayne and Evan of Las Vegas, and Rylan and Rayce of Yankton; and his special friend, Olive Gran of Scotland.
