Wayne was pre-deceased by his wife Marie of whom he was married for 62 years, his son Richard and his grandson Paul.

"Mac" was such a strong force in all he did in life. After serving in World War II, he returned to California and began his own business, Crown Heating and Air Conditioning , which grew from Mac alone to over 65 employees, then retirement 35 years later. He was President of Kiwanis of Monrovia, along with coaching his son's baseball teams. His greatest loves was to water ski, flying his own plane and playing cards. In short, no challenge was too much for him to tackle and he lived his life to the fullest. As a husband, father, grandfather and friend, he will be missed immensely but the memories will forever live in our hearts. Graveside service will be held at 11:00 a.m., on Saturday, January 10, 2015 at Rose Hills Memorial Park: 3888 Workman Mill Road, Whittier, California.
