“I had the privilege like many others of serving and working with Wayne on KBR's LOGCAP III project! Wayne was the consummate professional who many of us looked to as the example of how we measured our performance as a "Project Manager" - he was the benchmark! More than just an excellent Project Manager, he was a great friend, a great mentor, and just simply "a great person"! I Love Ya Man! He will be missed!!!! V/r, Jeff R.”
