Wayne is survived by his wife, Renneth; sons, Jamie and Charles; grandchildren, Leonard and Trinity; his best friend and devoted dog, Miss Pepper; sisters, Verna and Charlotte; and many nieces, nephews, grand nieces, and grand nephews.
He was a kind, generous, loving man who will be greatly missed by family and friends.
