I'm very sorry to hear this news. Cuba graduated in my class at McCann. He was good tempered, and never gave anyone any reason to dislike him. I remember asking somebody in my class, "Why do they call him Cuba?" and the reply was, "Because he's as big as Cuba." True or not, that's how we remembered Wayne, a big man with a big heart.

Growing up with you and your family on Beaver Street were some great times. Have loved being a part of your family, going all through school with Lisa. Such a wonderful family and you were always the "Big Brother". Thanks for spreading you charm and big smile to all you came across. Rest in Peace Cuba.
