Wayne moved from Oklahoma when he was 3 years old, when his family migrated to Richmond, CA where he lived until his death. He graduated from Richmond Union High in 1956, and received his AA degree at Contra Costa College in 1958. Wayne became an apprentice in The Steamfitter's Union in 1960. He held many elected positions in the union; he worked his way up the ladder becoming a business agent and held that position for 9 years until he retired in 2010.
Wayne was an avid hunter and traveled to Idaho and Wyoming many times, but his favorite place to hunt was down Cache Creek, where he rafted and was a private member for over 40 years. He was a life-time member of NRA, Moose Lodge, Pinole Sportsman, and Richmond Rod and Gun Club.
