Wayne had many interesting stories from his extensive travels for his job.

He met the love of his life, Gaye Griffin, in high school and they married in 1961. They had two daughters, Dana and Julie. He was a devoted husband and wonderful father. As a family they took many trips across the country in the family car, had family movie and game nights, and drove the boat many hours as the girls water skied across Lake LBJ in Marble Falls and Lake Somerville.
