I just heard that Wayne passed away. I supported Wayne at ATT/PacBell as a sales engineer in the mid 80's. He was a great mentor and role model. He inspired me to continue to learn and get my MBA. I am sorry to hear that he passed. I really enjoyed learning from Wayne, and working with Wayne.
I went to grade school with Wayne at Holy Cross in Tacoma. He was a 'big' guy not only in stature and his athletic build but in his leadership and academic abilities. He was a very nice person even in those young years. He went to Wilson High School with my late husband Kerm Olson. When Kerm died unexpectedly twenty three years ago, Wayne would call from time to time..take me to dinner...to the theater. Just a good friend who did not forget his friends and wanted to do whatever he could to help. That was Wayne and I think it speaks volumes of the type of person he was...a truly great man. My sympathy to his family and to all of us in his loss. Joy (Brick) Olson Nelson.
