Wayne worked for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for 35 years. He graduated from Iowa State University with a degree in Civil Engineering. He traveled all over Africa and the Middle East building support facilities for U.S. troops. While in Bloomington, in the early 70s, he was resident engineer on the Bloomington Post Office facility. He was a Vietnam veteran.
Wayne loved to work with wood and he and Linda have spent the last 15 years restoring an old house in Hudson. He also volunteered for the Appalachia Service Project, The Old House Society, Hudson Lions Club, Boy Scouts in Virginia and most anything his wife asked him to do.
Wayne suffered with Alzheimer’s Disease. He donated his brain as part of a research program at the Northwestern University Alzheimer’s Disease Center, Chicago.

Wayne was a quiet, private man of few words but his generous heart and willingness to help anyone in need endeared him to all who knew him.
