Following college, he taught school before beginning a career in engineering. His career eventually brought him to Wichita, Kansas, where he and his family lived while he worked at Boeing for 20 years before retiring.

Wayne and his spouse Barbara were married on July 29, 2005 in Wichita, KS

After retirement, Wayne and Barb enjoyed traveling between Florida and Vermont visiting family and friends. He especially enjoyed visiting his grandkids in person or via FaceTime.

Survived by wife Barbara of Micco FL, son Scott (Nola) of Alcester, SD, daughter Beth (Jon) Marteney of Augusta KS. Stepdaughters Stacie and Erica Rose of Vermont. Grandchildren Abby, Molly, Luke, Emmy, Cameron, Carter, and Logan. Sisters Marcia Conner, Cheryl (Doug) Stafford, and Alison (Peter) Joyce.

The service from Millennium was outstanding. Rachel was sweet, personable and very comforting. It was important to me that my dad was kept locally where I knew where he would be. Very nice facility, state of the art and quality of my fathers remains were so refined compared to my mothers years ago. I highly recommend this place for an affordable choice for your loved one. Thank you for making an already stressful event easy. With high regards, the Esposito and Keith Family.

Millennium Cremation provided a fantastic service to our family at a difficult time. Our beloved mother passed away in Vero Beach and the rest of the family was in other parts of the country. Due to the Covid health crisis, none of us could get to Vero Beach in person. That's where Millennium took over. They helped us manage everything, coordinated with a cemetery in Maine, managed the obituaries, expedited all the paperwork, and even delivered an important document locally that saved us days. Funeral director Rachel was a godsend, and she made it clear what she was going to do, and what we needed to do. If you know what you want, Millennium is highly recommended, and the savings versus the full service mortuaries is significant.
