I am so sorry to hear of Wayne's passing and more sorry that I missed the services. I worked with Wayne at Komatsu and he truly was an asset to our engineering team and to the project. He was such a nice man and had great stories to tell, along with an infectious laugh. I kept in touch with him since he retired, just a few times a year, but I will always have wonderful memories of our chats. My condolences to his family - God bless all of you.
