Mike PadulaI will always remember Wayne and his louder than average entrance to a room. He always spotted a smile and was respectful of others. I enjoyed working with him at Dynamatic during our good times. He always threatened to force me to join the union when catching me move a piece of furniture or large boxes. A great man and loved by most who knew him. He will truly be missed. Be with God Wayne.
