Sorry to hear of Wayne's passing. I heard the announcement while listening to "Back to the Blue Ridge" yesterday on the radio. They had many nice things to say about Wayne and his involvement with the valley music scene through the years.
Wayne was one of the most honest and straightforward persons that I ever had the occasion to know and work with. Those traits often led to us to "not being in complete agreement" on a variety of subjects from politics to faith, but Wayne was one of those rare individuals that you could have those type of conversations with and not devolve into a shouting match.
Condolences to family and friends of Wayne

When my mother died in January 2007, Wayne took the time to return to Waynesboro for her funeral. That simple act remains with me to this day. My deepest sympathy to your family. Kaye Foster

Serena, Ethan and Trecy - you are your dad's greatest legacy besides the great contribution he made to the music world. He was so very proud of all of you and your families. He was an amazingly talented, generous and humble man. I will miss him but Nita, my sister friend, I am here for you.

My condolence's to the family, he will be missed, I talked to him by phone several years ago, he told he that he and Chris Woodson was recording at his place and invited me to come down and visit, sorry I didn't make it at the time, you don't me, but I knew Wayne and he has been an important part of my growing in life and accepting people for who they are and not who you want them to be, I was the "so called :) lead singer in our band while we were in high school WMHS and Wayne played lead 'G', what a start in life to meet such a person that I still tell stories to this day about our band adventures "all G rated". I hope to make it to his celebration of life, he was truly a champion to all he touched, Wayne may-be down he will never be out of our heart's, souls,or our spirit,may his shared visions of values live on, Ron

It is with sadness I read of Wayne's death. I had hoped to meet him someday. My husband and I were good friends of his parents when they lived in Williamsburg in 1946. . Phyllis visited me in Waynesboro with young Van in 1949. They were a wonderful family and we shared some memorable times. God bless each of you. Lou Cook @ The Glebe
