He married Hedy Mitchell, 8 Aug 1953, Jasper Co., MO.After starting a small family together,sadly,Hedy Mitchell passed away leaving Wayne to raise the children alone and put food on the table.sometime there after he met and married Betty(Logan)Snow. They joined families and had one child together to make for ten children.Wayne and Betty stayed happily married until his dying day.
I didn't get but a short ten years on this earth before my grandfather passed and unfortunately didn't learn too much of him as a man and the life he had led while he still walked this earth. That life though,was the life of a great man who raised a handful of children that were not his (including my father) as if they were his very own. From what I know and remember Wayne was an extremely hard working man who always kept such a large family fed, clothed and sheltered and did a great job of instilling the importance of such things in the men whom he raised. Wayne loved to have a good laugh and was always telling silly jokes to us children. If you asked what was for supper he'd tell you "shit on a shingle" lol and the ever so loving nickname for us kids was pissant haha I'll always remember that. It also seems to me like most people with a good heart he could see through the bad right down to your core to recognize others whose hearts were in the right place regardless of their flaws

The grave marker states his rank as pic yet while looking at his purple heart casualty report I learned he was in fact a sergeant in the 223rd unit of the 40th infantry division
