Butler High School in Augusta, GA in 1965. Wayne married Nancy Boynton in Adel Georgia on September 18, 1966. Wayne was an Air Force Master Sergeant and retired after 22 years. He also worked for Thomas University until retirement and loved every student he came in contact with. Wayne was well loved by his extended family at various restaurants in Thomasville. They all lovingly knew him as “Pop.” Wayne loved people and brought joy to others, and no one ever knew when he had a bad day. He was a devoted husband for 55 years and loved his family more than himself.
