Wayne lived about 5 miles away from me. I am in Cranberry Township and he is in Zelienople.
My oldest son is friends with his grandson, Keegan. Wayne would always be at the (then) Robert Morris show and he and Bill were a joy to talk to. I would run into them at Strongsville and I would see them at the National in Cleveland. He would put his grandkids to work in the booth. I remember speaking to Patrick. Conner bought a T206 Fred Clarke from him and Wayne would always encourage me to collect pre-war and put them in them away and allow them to appreciate. I remember at the '14 National he had the 52-55 Red Man sets and encouraged me to start collecting those - telling me to get away from the mainstream of 50's and 60's topps. When he got sick a few years ago and lost so much weight, I worried about him then, but I am jealous of the fact that he was able to spend his adult life doing what he loved and immersed in the hobby. My best to Bill and his family. He certainly was a wonderful guy!
