Wayne always had a zest for learning. He would often be found reading a textbook or watching History and Science channels. He also loved a good tear jerker. Wayne was a gifted troubleshooter and could make nearly anything work again, thus given the name Mr. Fix It.
Wayne was also a loving Daddy. He loved to burn sticks in the backyard and roast marshmallows with the kids. He was very proud of his kids and worked very hard to ensure their success in life. Wayne also loved the outdoors and spent many hours fishing and shrimping.
