Our hearts are with you, we will miss him!
He will always be remembered in our neighborhood as kind, happy, and such a bright light to be around.
Such an honor to have known him.

Showing off Dad's wings at Emerald City Comic Con

I'm Vicki, Wayne's first daughter and second child. I just want to say that I loved my dad so very much. He was the most wonderful person  around that could do anything. I remember all our trips during the summer. Up the coast of California, visiting families in Chicago and Alabama and New York and Washingto D.C!! But I want to thank both my parents for giving me the trip of a lifetime by paying for me to go to Isreal with my church group. It was really wonderful. Dad I love you and Mom so much ❤️❤️❣️

Too many good memories to share❣️😘

We of course enjoyed all our visits with Wayne in Paradise❣️

I always enjoyed hearing his stories of how he met Barbara and showing us his collection of everything he was interested in or what he accomplished at work so impressive! I really enjoyed reading his autobiography of life growing up back in those days if you haven't read it you must it's so good! We will miss him dearly❣️

For those that don't know, we had "Western Sundays." We would dress up in cowboy hats and our six shooters, ( toys of course,) and watch westerns.

Wayne was my uncle. He was one of the smartest people I have ever known.  Meticulous is a word I would use to describe him. And he had an eager enthusiasm to share this knowledge. He would light up when you ask about his work in the aerospace industry, or any topic for that matter. A true fountain of knowledge. He raised six wonderful children. That alone is quite an accomplishment. He was from a different generation. A generation of integrity and respect. I will miss him.

Wayne was an amazing man to all who came in contact with,.
An accomplished person who had participated on the Apollo and Saturn V rocket, the B-2 bomber, as well as one of the 1st handheld computers and automotive engine computers.
A devoted husband to our mother for over 72 years, as well as a loving father having raised 6 who loved him every day of his 94 years.
I cannot begin to express the depth that my love and grief feels for him.
Dad, I will miss you everyday until I no longer walk in the lifetime.💔💔💔

I will always cherish our trip to Disneyland. Such a great time with great people 🩷🩷🩷
