Harry Wayne Loveless

Within hours after Wayne was born, his mother Winnie Loveless died of a cerebral anuerysm. This loss was never overcome by his dad, although he certainly bucked up and took it on the chin. His generation did things that way. It's how they fought and won the great war. Grandma Loveless helped raise Wayne until His Dad married Viola Schneider, when Wayne was about 2 or 3. She loved Wayne very much. No one really ever takes the place of one's biological parent, but Viola Schneider tried the best she knew how. Truthfully, she was a career woman more than a mom- yet she loved each of him very much like her own.

Wilder Loveless really wanted one of his sons in the business. Wayne wanted to be a mechanic. Nope, he was expected to go to college. He did FINALLY got to be a mechanic. And as is usually the case, if one does what one loves one is good at it. And he was very good.

Wayne fell in love with Judy Shaw when they were very young. They were married on October 8, 1968 in Greenville South Carolina. They eloped because at the time they could not get married in Atlanta because my mom was 18 and Georgia law stated that 21 was the minimum age to marry. It was a shock to everyone. But it was the right thing for the two of them to do. It was love now and forever. Judy is simply the best and Wayne knew it. They were married 43 yrs. Judy has been true blue through thick and thin. An example of committment that can't be any truer.

Wayne attended the old Atlanta Adventist Academy, before Cascade. He then went to Pisgah Academy in N. Carolina. He went to college in Collegedale, TN, home of Little Debbie, Where Judy used to work. After his marriage he lived in florida for awhile - Judy is a born in FL native- then returned to Atlanta. He worked with our dad awhile, having tried and having little interest in computer programming. Finally he got to do what he really wanted to do, be a mechanic. Their first son Wayne Jr. was born in 1971, as is usually the case in the first born, Wayne Jr. got his picture taken constantly...well documented childhood! Wayne and Judy did lose a child in a miscarriage before Wayne Jr. was born. They both felt that loss tremendously and the family mourned for that baby and for Wayne and Judy's loss. They moved to West Palm Beach, Florida where Jennifer was born in 1976. Eventually they moved to Tulsa, Where Elizabeth was born in 1983. Then back to Lake Worth FL. He loved being with his grandkids, even he didnt seen them everyday. Some got spoiled more by him then others, but they all had a special place in his heart. I think it was just so he could na na na na to people when it gets cold in the winter. The rest of his life was lived in West Palm Beach. He retired early due to health problems, but it wasn't what he wanted. Like his father, he found his life's work and was lost without it. Although his health was failing and everyone knew there would be a contiuning downhill spiral. His death came sooner then anyone could have thought or expected. He was forturnatly to have fallen asleep and passed away peaceful at home. Although it is hard to except that he is gone, that his family knows in their hearts he is no longer in pain and has found peace.

He is survived by his loving wife, Judy Loveless, his son Wayne Loveless, Jr, his daughters Jennifer Campbell, and Elizabeth Loveless. His grandkids, Katilyn Chapin, Tyler Horn, Samatha Chapin, Ashely Chapin, Paige Horne, Emily Loveless, Landon Loveless and Serenity Campbell. His Brother Lawerence Loveless of Woodbury, Tenn.
