Remember many a day at Jesuit and Carrollton playing sports with you and your never give up determination. Good memories and you will be missed

Tommy,
We were saddened to learn of Wayne's passing and will remember you and your family in out prayers.

I met Wayne over 25 years ago through a business relationship when I worked as an insurance adjuster and he was with Ringler.     He taught me a lot and became a great friend and comrade through the years.    He would always update me on the kids, they were everything to him and of course Rochelle was his love.       I  think it was 20 years ago or so I sold my Honda Accord to Wayne and Wayne Jr. came by and picked it up in Grapevine, Texas......time flies..     I enjoyed playing golf with Wayne, a glass of wine, and his keen sense of humor.  Wayne always wanted to do the right thing when it came down to either business or pleasure.      He was truly what people call a "people person".      Time always flew when you were hanging out with Wayne.   I will miss him very much.    All my love to the Wagner family.

My heartfelt and sincere condolences to Hugh and your entire family.  We will miss Wayne on the water.

So sorry to hear of  Wayne's passing.. I considered him a friend who I always enjoyed seeing when our paths crossed. My deepest sympathies to his Family. Rob Haik

Great opportunity for me to have worked with Wayne Wagner.  As a former resident of Louisiana, we both shared the passion the state offered.  We both worked in insurance and specific Structured Settlements.  I enjoyed golfing with Wayne and of course always tried to get out to fish with him.  He knew the local community in state and we shared some great memories.  Let the good times roll in heaven Wayne!

My name is Larry Spaziani.  I met Wayne at Fort Hood Texas in either 1967 or 1968 when we were both young Second Lieutenants in the 502nd S and T Battalion, 2nd Armored Division.  Wayne, me, Dave Brooks, Gary Gray and Alan Zaretsky became friends and over the next 50 years visited each other, spoke on the phone and "kept in touch".  It is with great sadness that my wife, Joanna, and I heard of Wayne's passing.
I remember Wayne as having a great intellect and a sense of humor, a love of sports and Louisiana, and a great skill in grilling steaks!  He often spoke of his children and Rochelle.
We wish all his family and relatives peace and serenity at this time.
Hello Emile.
With best wishes.
Larry and Joanna Spaziani

Wayne I am so sorry for your loss.  Please accept my heartfelt sorrow.
