It was an absolute honor to have you as a big brother. I remember always looking up to you as a kid. You were the guy with all the girls and friends and I was known as your “adorable little brother”. I’m still upset that I didn’t get the prettiest eyes in the yearbook as you did. You were a man of integrity and honesty, and there was nothing you wouldn’t do to help someone in a time of need. I will always be proud of you and will always be honored to be Wayno’s little brother. Until I see you again, love Kevin
I knew Wayna in jr and high school he was always kind and nice to me. Im very sorry for family and close friends lost.he was a great guy. rest in peace Wayno Im glad I knew you.
Wayne was a brother to us all, it was just the way he was. I grew up in the same neighborhood and we all hung together getting into mischief and living life as teenagers. So many great memories that I’ll cherish forever. Until we meet again my old friend, rest easy! Top shelf, no dust.
I couldn;t believe this when I saw that Wayne had passed. I have many memories of him growing up and he was always a good hearted guy. We use to ride dirt bikes down at hill 90 when we were kids. I offer my sympathy to Bobby, Kevin, and family and although he was taken from you all too soon always remember the good times. RIP buddy!
So sorry to hear of your loss. My prayers are with harry and loose and family
My sincerest condolences to the Doolan family, who Wayno loved so much, and especially the nieces and nephews he adored. I’ll remember his kind soul, and the way he was that friend that made you a better person. Thanks for being part of so many fond memories, love and good times. Peace my friend.
So very sorry and sad to read of Wayne’s passing. Louise, you know I feel your pain…… Lots of fond memories from the good ol’ days on Oak St. (I think Tim still had some of Wayne’s clothes when I cleaned out his house, ha, I never knew what he would come home with) Love you and am heartbroken with you.
You were a good man, Wayno. You’ll be missed.
Wayne was a man beyond his years. Even in junior high he knew respect and the importance of building confidence. At a time when young men and women were insecure, he had a way of making everyone comfortable. I will never forget that. He was kind and funny and made everyone feel special. A true friend to all who knew him and loved him. My condolences to the Doolan family. You raised amazing sons and for that I thank you. I feel terrible for the void this has left in your family. He was a genuine man that was loved my many.
