I was sorry to hear of Wayne’s passing. I knew him many years ago in Illinois. I know he will be missed. My thoughts are with you all.

He was my “Uncle Wayne” even though we were not blood relatives. He was my father, Joe Lewandowski’s, best friend. I recently connected with him when my Dad passed in 2023. Now the old boys are together again playin’cards and having a ball up amongst the stars. Rest in Peace Uncle Wayne.
