Childhood: Wayne grew up on his family farm in Eureka, SD with his parents and his brother, Lee. Here he learned to appreciate hard work, honesty, and integrity and was given the foundation of his faith by his parents. He graduated from Eureka High School in 1963 where he excelled at sports, academics, andsoc ializing. Education: He prided himself in being a lifelong learner and earned his Bachelor of Arts degree (Cum Laude) in 1967 from Westmar College. He continued his education at Morningside College and earned his Master of Arts in Teaching degree in 1974. He eventually earned enough credits to have his Masters plus 30 which he was very proud of attaining. Career: Wayne taught in the Sioux City School district for 34 years until he retired in 2005. He primarily taught Spanish to middle school students but also taught government and American History when needed. The vast majority of his former students will tell you he was their favorite teacher, and most will be able to recall a corny joke or two that he told. Wayne enjoyed using his Spanish language skills throughout his life to "impress" Hispanic people he would meet and would, in true Wayne fashion, end up leaving with a new friend. While he was a teacher, he also shared his love of sports and would coach boys church basketball teams. Family: Wayne met Cindy Roy Hendrickson when they lived in the same apartment complex. She asked him for help fixing her door and, well, she fell in love with him anyway (if you knew Wayne, you knew that despite his amazing intelligence and abundance of gifts he was not the one to go to for mechanical or technical assistance). They married on Valentine's Day 1981 and had just celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary. During those 40 (forty) years, Wayne and Cindy moved several times. Sometimes because they had to, sometimes because they just felt like it. They especially enjoyed the years they had a home at Lake Okoboji. Even though Wayne wasn't a swimmer, he was an accomplished "floater" and loved to take walks with his bride, bird watch, boat watch, deer watch, and of course, enjoy the occasional Nutty Bar. Hobbies: Wayne could literally find joy in anything. When he was younger, he played softball, tennis, basketball, and was always ready to do some long toss with his kids and grandkids. In his retirement years he was an avid bike rider and enjoyed long walks with Cindy. When he wasn't playing sports, he was watching them (live or on TV), especially his beloved Oakland As. He also was a voracious reader. He read newspapers cover to cover, books, magazines, cereal boxes, etc. And if he wasn't reading, he was journaling. He journaled EVERYTHING! Absolutely everything! They were also became quite the travelers! They were blessed to be able to travel extensively with family and friends and got to see and experience many wonderful places and things! Above all though, he loved spending time with his family and friends. Playing Left-Right-Center, playing word games, watching the grandkids in their activities, and just hanging out together having a Blizzard from Dairy Queen. Wayne was one of a kind. He was smart, kind, faithful, loving and above all, he had a deep faith in God and knew that he would be spending eternity with Jesus!
