I met Wayne years ago and What a character! He had such a great smile. He will be missed at the Lion and I will have a ‘funny’ to cheers him. My condolences. Kristina Meyer
I did not know him long, I met him playing bingo at the Keg and we always laughed so much. For the short time that I knew him I always looked forward to seeing his face when I walked into the door. He will always hold a special place in my heart. Prayers to his family and his friends.

I recently met Wayne at Manor Care, where my mom is. We enjoyed watching Iowa men’s basketball games in the family room with him and Judy. He was a very kind man. I am so sorry for your loss! Angie & JoAnn
I am so sadden to hear the lost of Wayne. He became part of our family and he was so good to Tristan and Bashy. He was so funny and made me laugh all the time. We had many great talks about life in general. On behalf of myself, kids, and grand kids we send love your way in your time of healing. Kristi
Wayne, was good friend, professional associate and co-owner in two airplanes. He and his family shared a number of skiing experiences with our family. Wayne was usually the life of the party. No one lived life to the fullest more than Wayne. Just thinking about him brings back many memories of past experiences. He will be missed by many.
I have many great memories of Wayne from my childhood. He seemed larger than life in his cowboy boots and his gold chain. I was asked to get him a beer once when I was a little kid, and, not knowing any better, I put ice cubes in it. Everyone laughed but Wayne very seriously thanked me. My thoughts go out to Troy, Tracie and Terrie.
My condolences to Wayne’s family. I’m so sad to hear of his passing. We met Wayne and his family while he was at Manor care. He was such a sweet man. And very special to my family. The solecki family
