• Notes

  Wayne was always a frail boy in his youth and often sickly. He was not involved at school activities much except for school dances. Wayne enlisted in the Army and spent time in India, one of the great adventures of his life. Wayne was not married that long as his wife left him because he was not a very reliable man. He loved to dance and have a good time and never seemed to worry too much about tomorrow. He worked as a male nurse's aide for many years and was never very close to his brother. He lived the last few years in a veterans home and seemed to be quite content, but a little eccentric. He sent away and received a certificate that said he was a priest and he often wore a clerical collar. He died in his sleep of a heart attack and was buried in a paupers grave as he had donated his body to science in exchange for the Burial. To the best of my knowledge no one from the family attended his funeral. There is a marker now at North Adams Cemetery next to his parents for him, however I'm not sure when he was moved there.
