There is so much about Wayne that was special. He was a man of integrity and character. He was thoughtful, kind, and compassionate. His life experiences brought him to a place of natural understanding of the human condition. Wayne could read when you were sad and celebrate with you when you were happy. I know that his health was very important to him and he had worked hard to overcome difficult challenges, including eating right and walking for exercise. He was very proud of his time in the service and of the time he served in law enforcement. His honesty about the some of what he experienced really gave me perspective on how difficult this role is when you are serving others for the right reasons.
Wayne attended our peer support groups and we looked forward to seeing him every time he chose to come. We all genuinely miss him and know that he found strength in sharing experiences.
It feels really important for me to share that he loved his wife beyond measure and missed her so much. He also loved his daughter Joan with all of his heart. He was definitely a family man and was able to offer us perspective into how challenging aging can be and how loss and change is difficult to embrace. He encouraged us to keep going. 
Sending you, Joan, so much love and my wish that the memories you made with your Dad are something the bring you comfort when you find times difficult.
You are never alone.
