I had the pleasure of working with Wayne when he was one of our Kaplan Instructors. It was always good to speak with him and catch-up. He was also a great mentor and friend to many of our students. He will be missed. My condolences to the family.
To the Rogers family I met Wayne in Boston as a fellow instructor in the 1990s & found a friend & colleague. We would often met up when I was in Boston throughout the years. When I left Kaplan in 2005, I lost the chance to reunite with Wayne, but will cherish the time we spent together. My thoughts & prayers our with you. Bill Lucas
I attended St. Johns Prep with Wayne. He was a good friend and I was saddened to read of his passing in the Prep magazine I recieved today.
My thoughts are with you at this sad time.
