Sorry to hear this. Very nice man that will certainly be missed.

Anyone know how old he was?

My condolences to Waynes family,

George

Terrible news, Wayne was a nice guy and will be missed. Condolences to his family, and we will be praying for you all.

I'm so sorry to hear about Wayne's passing; Jay and I hunted with him in the eighties some. Super nice guy; he will be missed.

Sorry to hear. Wayne contributed so much to MN coonhunting clubs & UKC over the years. I can't even fathom the amount of miles he drove or hours he spent sitting in clubhouses to serve as BSJ & MOH over the years.
His presence & laugh will be missed at many clubs.
Thoughts & prayers to his family & friends.

Wow. That is sad. But take a look at all these responses. When you go wouldn't it be awesome for everyone who ever met you to say what a good person you were? And I think that really sums up Wayne. He was a genuinely good person. A humble man. Rest in peace Wayne.

So sorry to hear this news. As a 12 year old boy in 1988, I bought my first coonhound pup from Wayne. He was MOH and BSJ for most of our hunts and always brought good conversation, stories, and jokes with him. I am going to miss him. My prayers go out to his family.

Andy

SO SORRY

We are so sorry to hear of this sad loss. We will be praying for his family and friends. Sounds like he was someone very special. You were all lucky and Blessed to know him.....


Sincerely Sorry, Heather and Bob William

I remember being at a hunt one time where Wayne was MOH, one cast was drawn out where no one had a truck, Wayne let them take his......That's the kind of Man Wayne was.
