Dale & Marilyn,
My heart aches for you during this time. We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers.
Jim & Carrie Stephenson & Family
Dale, Marilyn, Randy, Kathy, Susie….I am so sorry for your loss. Wayne was a great servant of God, who had great confidence in his salvation. I was fortunate enough to have a quick visit with Wayne in Highmore shortly after Mike’s funeral. I will always remember the peace and calm that seemed to surround him. Wayne lived his life like no other, and now he will live like no other for eternity in heaven. Rest in peace my friend.
Dale and Marilyn,
You are in our thoughts and prayers. If there is anything that we can do for you, please let us know.

My heartfelt sympathy to Waynes family. I have so many wonderful memories of good times with all the Kutz kids..from swimming at the pool, playing baseball, riding bikes down main street, jr. high dances, and watching Wayne in all high school sports. He was a good athlete. May the love of your family and friends help you during this difficult time.
My sympathy to the entire Kutz family. All of you were a part of my life in Highmore, from basketball, study hall, combiners, Proms and Washington DC trips. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Dale, Marilyn, Randy, Kathy & Susie,
I am so sorry to hear about Wayne. It was really nice to see him a couple of years ago when you were moving into your new house. I will never forget the great times my family had growing up next door to yours; especially the hours spent in your screened-in front porch and that wonderful swing.
I hope that with God’s help and all of the memories that you have, they will see you through this time of sorrow. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

My memories of Wayne and the time I spent with him are some of the best I can remember. The time I spent in Highmore has held a special place in my heart. I am proud to have called him my cousin. My sympathies and prayers are with all of you.
Dale, Marilyn, Randy, Kathy, and Susie,
We are greatly saddened by the news of Wayne’s passing. Many of my childhood memories growing up on Maple Avenue include Wayne and Randy. From playing baseball in the lot to the east until the sun went down, to playing marathon basketball games on the tennis courts and Wayne’s never miss bank shot from the left side of the lane, to the hours spent just driving around in the old white Olds with the push button transmission, – his memory will be with us always.
May God comfort you all in this time of sorrow.
Thinking and praying for all of Waynes family.
So sorry to hear of your loss, my condolences. Richard.
It is with great sorrow that I hear of Waynes passing. Wayne was a good friend in Highschool, we were class of 75, as well as in confirmation. I always have said he was the “nicest guy” in our class, and I mean it sincerely. We had such fun on our Luther League camping trip to the Black Hills with Wayne driving us safely in one of the worse thunderstorms I’ve ever been thru. He loved the great rock and roll music of our time in the 70’s and I see him clearly, drumming on the dash! Please know I will remember all of you in prayer. My sympathies to all of his family and friends.
