Dear Beradine and sons Ryan and Shane,
It was a very sad day to hear about Wayne's passing. Both Kathy and I were very good family friends while we worked at Fair Oaks
School in Montville. He was a caring teacher and also a running companion at the Rose Arts in Norwich.One time he shared his lunch with a stray cat outside his office window . The cat found a friend and a new home.That how he operated- he cared !
Wayne will be missed by all!

To the Edgley family.

We were saddened to hear of the passing of Wayne. We were neighbors and friends for many years. Although we haven't seen him since we moved 10 years ago, we have fond memories of him
in the neighborhood. He had a great sense of humor and was always fun to be around.
Our sincere condolences to Bernadine, Ryan, Shane, Karen and Kathy.
