He married the love of his life, Kathryn, on June 5, 1955. They spent an incredible sixty-four years traveling through military deployments, numerous job locations and vacation adventures before settling back down in Ohio.

Wayne was a beloved husband and family man who was a role model to all who knew him. Although small in stature, he was larger than life to his proud sons.

He enjoyed watching Ohio State Buckeyes football, John Wayne movies and playing Euchre and marbles with family and friends. Wayne attended Northview Baptist Church in Hillsboro until his illness.
