When my Mom told me Wayne had passed away my heart was broken. I can’t seem to come to grip with it. I feel horrible. I so wished it wasn’t true ! He was too young. I can only imagine how all of his family feels. Please know that I am so sorry about him passing. I loved Wayne and always will !
I just learned of Wayne’s passing. I bought so much fuel from Wayne over the years. Over this time, we talked almost daily about life, family, and fuel. I considered him a mentor of sorts. He is truly missed and I’m a better person for having known him. Thoughts and prayers for all of Wayne’s family.
