Condolences to his wife & family! I lived my childhood on Hall Street, a few houses down the hill from the DeGlopper family. I graudated from SHS in 1959 with his brother, Harry, & his later to be wife, Jeanne Bogaski. I was glad to see this posted on Facebook by Mr. Russo, because he tries to post all alumni. May Wayne's family all share in remembering a life well lived as they share this sad time together!
