Our love to Joni and family. We were friends from Elizabethton High School and we loved Wayne.
I along with everyone at the Vets home will miss Wayne and his terrific humor.
Our condolences to Joni and the family.
I’m so sorry to hear of Wayne’s passing. I enjoyed so many memories at the Pueblo West Inn with Wayne and Joni, and then later spent time with Wayne at the vets home in Florence – singing and reminiscing. I’ll be singing “Back Home Again” there this morning to honor Wayne.
Best to Joni and the family.
