Wayne was born Feb. 23, 1935, in the Kynett home in Lisbon. He was the third child of D. Audis and Margaret Kynett Bennett. He married Janet Webb, on April 12, 1954, in Altoona. He painted for 40 years, starting with his grandfather's business, Kynett Painting, then 20 years with Model Paint Company, and retired as the owner of Bennett & Sons Drywall and Paint. Wayne has also worked with many of his children and grandchildren in his business.
Wayne is survived by his wife of 54 years, Janet; a son, Tim (Mary) Bennett of Lecanto, Fla.; two daughters, Cindy (Terry) Snyder of Marion and Cathy (Marc) Whitman of Lisbon; eight grandchildren, Scott (Shanda) Studt, Alex (Tana) Studt, Brandon (Amy) Studt, Jay (Joanna) Bennett, Nic (Ashlee) Bennett, Phillip Whitman (fianceé Chrissy Woodward), Tai (Jeremy) Bennett-Jones and Joe (Jessica) Whitman; three step-grandchildren, Sam, Sybil and Sarah Snyder; seven great-grandchildren, Morgan, Taylor, Alan, Dalton, Olivia, Brayden and Brooklynn Studt; and two step-great-grandchildren, Jackson and Gregory Snyder. Wayne is also survived by a sister, Jean Ardis Claflin; a brother, Richard (Jan) Bennett; sisters-in-law, Anna Allsup Straw and Waneta (Barney) Beasmore; a brother-in-law, Bill Sailor; and many nieces and nephews.
Preceding Wayne in death was his son, Keith, who died 1981; his parents; a brother, Willard; three brother-in-laws; two nephews, Jeffrey Allsup and Brad Beasmore; a niece, Wendy Claflin-Garthwaite; a sister-in-law; and his father- and mother-in-law, Cato and Lucille Webb.
Wayne was a wonderful husband, father, and most of all grandfather and great-grandfather. Wayne was a very caring, loving person who always had time for everyone. He will be greatly missed by everyone who knew and loved him. His legacy will live forever.
