My sincere sympathies on your loss. I went to SUNY Morrisville with Wayne and worked on the campus radio station together. Over the years we would touch base with each other from time to time, especially on our birthdays in July. He was a good person and I enjoyed being a fellow student with him. RIP

Jo and all your family, I am so sorry for the loss of Wayne. A man of few words, but with a sweet heart for the Lord, his family and friends. Time after time he sacrificed his time to serve the needs of the church with the sound and technology needs. Even when he was losing his sight, he was brilliant in his abilities to diagnose and repair what was broken. A very good man is now with Jesus who loved him through the good and difficult times in his life. He will be missed on earth, but he has left a legacy and will forever love in The hearts of those who knew him and loved him. May God bring you all His comfort and peace as you grieve for Wayne. With love for you all, Mary Strew

I have only known Wayne for four years. Wayne is a great story teller. In those four years I have heard all of the ups and downs of a wonderful life. I will miss his stories at the weekly HAM radio “Ole Crony” lunch event at Judy’s Café. Rest Well.

Wayne was so much fun to talk with about the technical work he did throughout his career. He was a fine Christian man who set a high example for us to follow. We will miss and remember him.

Dear Jo, I am so sorry to hear about Wayne's passing. Mary Pat sent me a text. I heard that his cancer returned. The earthly loss of Larry is sad for all of us. His being immediately in the presence of Our Lord and Savior is a cause for rejoicing. I know you are probably experiencing bittersweet feelings. Please know Lonnie and I are praying for you and your family and know that God's comfort and peace are surround you in your grief. I will pray for courage and strength. Wayne had a quiet strength and a sense of humor that showed up at times. I know you miss him. I’m sorry we issued his memorial service.
