Wayne became a valued part of our family when we moved to Covington, VA, in 2018. He and Fran were great neighbors. In April 2024, after Wayne’s home was destroyed by fire, he lived with us until his passing. He was a great source of joy in our little family. He will be remembered for his many acts of kindnesses and his positive attitude. We so enjoyed his stories of his life experiences. We Love you, Wayne, and thank you for being our friend.
