Wayne was a loving husband, father, son, and brother, and also a people lover. He loved singing and dancing.

After leaving the Air Force he entered the sales department of the Jewel Tea Company and later became a sales representative for several insurance companies. His main career was with Peoples Life Insurance Company which later became Monumental Life Insurance Company. Being the people person he was, made him very successful in his career and created many lifelong friendships.
