Since moving to Santa Fe Wayne had become very involved with an organization called Rock Steady Boxing which is a therapy program for Parkinson patients. This had truly become a passion. He was due to be trained as a certified coach. His work with RSB had become one of the highlights of his week and a true love in his life.

In addition he had become an active volunteer with the Santa Fe Botanical Gardens.
