He was very talented and could do most anything from remodeling homes to rebuilding motorcycles and cars or any other task that needed done. Wayne enjoyed gambling with his brother-in-law, Jerry and his greatest enjoyment in life was his family, especially his grandchildren. He could always refocus the family no matter the situation and put a smile on their face. Wayne will always be remembered by those who knew and loved him for his famous mottos, a little money in the bank and got the world by the tail and, hang in there.
Burial will be in Floral Hill Cemetery in Hoopeston, with military rites being accorded by the Hoopeston American Legion Post #384.
