Thoughts and prayers to all of Wayne's family. He was a fun and active person and he was kind enough to share his spirited ways with the rest of us. He will be missed, "running on Floyd time..." was something he always said to me when ever we ran into each other in town. I always enjoyed our conversations, they never ended without a laugh or a smile!
