Wayne remained a lifelong member of St. John's United Church of Christ having served as a council member for many years and enjoyed playing on the dartball team.

He served on the Outagamie County Snowmobile Alliance and was a founding member of the Black Creek Railriders Snowmobile Club.

Wayne and Doris raised their family on their dairy farm in Shiocton. He served on the Alto Dairy Board of Directors for five years. Wayne was born into farming and proudly lived the farm life having been the third generation on the family farm. He continued running the farm until his loving wife and best friend, Doris, called him home to be with her.
