Wayne was a Machine Operator at St. Gobain for 34 years before retiring in 2017.
Wayne was a hard working guy, who enjoyed his time with his family. He took pride in the restoration of his classic muscle cars, putting together model cars, and tinkering in his garage. Wayne loved ice racing, snowmobiling and playing pool. He loved his best friend Sal Gianffrido and his cruise nights were he would take his Shelby. He was a very loving and supporting man, with a great sense of humor who always found time to joke with his family. He will be deeply missed.
