Wayne served on the Land O' Lakes Board and was a past president, and past member of the 50 - 60 club, and also served on the Roscoe Township Board for many years. He was also an active member at Stordahl Lutheran Church where he served on the church council, and was a past president many times. He also enjoyed working on the various projects at the church.
