I met Wayne when I was 9 or 10 years old. He had a smile and laugh that could light up a room. His sense of humor was one of a kind and I could always count on him for a good laugh when I needed it. He once pocket dialed my house phone and left a message where he was yelling “White Lightening”. Wayne loved his children, and his wife more than any man I know. He was so proud of everyone of them. He honored the memory of his wife and always talked about how she was the best woman he had ever met. I valued that about him. Wayne was also a very loyal friend, during my dads final days he was there for him. He’d check in to see how he was doing and he checked on my family. His ability to live in the moment and enjoy all the small victories is something that was truly inspiring. I will never forget Wayne. He was family to me and will be greatly missed.

I’ve known Wayne since the late 70’s, since my teen years. He and my father Roger Smith were best friends, Wayne was with me when my Dad passed 5 years ago. He and I were history buffs and had great discussions. I remember when he married Barb in 1981. Barb and my Dad’s then wife Julie were great friends. I remember all four of them hanging out. My heart goes out to his kids, grandkids and loved ones. Well Wayne you are reunited with Barb and my Dad. Hope to see you all on the other side someday. You will be sorely missed.

I was introduced to Wayne long ago when I dated his daughter Jessica. Wayne always treated me like I was a member of the family. Even 15 year later, when I was arguing sports with someone online who turned out to be Wayne's brother. Wayne came along and explained that I was family. That's who he was, he always stuck up for his family. Wayne and I couldn't be further apart politically but, he didn't hold it against me. I am going to miss his FB messages. He was a gentle guy, who loved his family, supported his friends, and never voted for a democrat! May he rest in peace!!

When I was younger Wayne was an intimidating fellow, but over the years I learned how big of a softy he was. I remember a number of conversations in the bar area of Pizza Hut. Wayne loved to talk about his family and politics. I always appreciated his ability to listen to different perspectives even if he didn't agree with them. More recently Kevin got Wayne on Facebook, that led to many messages from Wayne about politics. I am glad he got the joke when I used a Hillary Clinton meme to wish him Happy Birthday...RIP Wayne and condolences to the entire Larsen family.

Without you, I wouldn't have had these wonderful people in my life that I call family. You were such a good man, an amazing father, and a loving Opa. You raised these kids with enough love and support to make up for any loss they felt having their Mama taken so young. The strength and deep love that required, I respected you so much for that all of these years. They are good people Wayne, you did an amazing job. I will miss your conversations, your wisdom, and your hugs. You always made me feel like I was family. Your absence will be felt deeply, for a very long time, but I do find peace in knowing that you have been reunited with the love of your life. I promise to always look out for your children and your grandchildren, and to always keep your memory alive. Rest in Peace.

Wayne was a kind, loving man, he was there so many times when I needed to talk about life, shared so many warm loving hugs with him, his laugh was infectious...he use to ride motorcycles with my dad and mom, was a big part of our lives. You are going to be truly missed.

I miss you more than words can describe. You always used to say you wish you could have done more or done better for us kids but I honestly wouldn't change a thing. You went above and beyond for us and gave me memories I will cherish forever. I enjoyed seeing the love between you and your little man. You used to say to him every time we left the house, "Take care of your mama now" and he definitely is doing just that, he is keeping me going. Rest peacefully with mom and give her big hugs. I love you daddy.

Always your little girl,
Jessica 💗
