Wayne Sr. had the kindest of hearts as he truly enjoyed the company and conversation of loved ones and never asked for anything more. He was a fan of the outdoors. Many camping and fishing excursions; solo, with earth bound and heaven bound lifelong friends and with his children as they grew. He had many hobbies throughout his lifetime including drag racing in his younger days, learning and practicing shooting, going Jeeping with his pals and so many countless adventures. He was a graduate of Franklin High. Once graduated he went on to work for the Boeing company and Post Office before he started his latest career before retirement working for the City of Seattle where he was a street maintenance/ truck driver. In his latest years of retirement he began to take up gardening; which he thought was “pretty cool!!” and also spending time with his grandchildren. His down to earth kind of nature and love for ALL gave him peace and brought him simple happiness. He was one of the most generous of souls and will be truly missed by all whose hearts he has touched.
