    Wayne was a great friend I have often wondered where he had gotten off to. I was a customer of his for years. He will be greatly missed.

    Wayne was always a friend to the Altizer family and we all loved him. My late brother Mouse Altizer loved to argue politics with him. He was a generous man and he had this wonderful sense of humor. It is sad when our lives get so busy that we lose track of friends. I hadn’t seen Wayne in quite some time, but he was unforgettable. Rest In Peace Wayne.♥️

    Wayne will be missed. He was one of my high school friends. I really enjoyed his sense of humor & witt. I’m sure his other high school friends miss him as much as we were close. Go rest high on the mountain my friend.

    We were truly shocked about the passing of Wayne as I was wondering just how he was doing 10 minutes before we got the news. Wayne was a dear, sweet man and will be sorely missed. Please say hi to Bill Cooke and Gail for us!!! We will always remember our sweet Wayne-E-Poo!!!!

    I’m so sorry daddy. I feel so sad that I let my best friend to get away without knowing that I love you so much. I went months without as much as a thought of you and your life. I sit here now and I think about you every minute. I know you are with my meme looking over me. I didn’t have a ride. You always were the one to come get me. Wherever, whenever.
