Together, they raised their adopted daughter, Melissa Marie Holcomb Simons. Wayne had a passion for fine food, consuming and preparing it. Attending a dinner at Wayne and Dee's home always brought a hope that the menu would include beef tenderloin and his famous Virginia crab soup. The meal would always be professionally prepared by "Chef" Wayne with the able assistance of "Sous Chef," Dee Ann. He also had a passion for landscaping, turning any yard they owned into the most eloquent and colorful garden; a talent he inherited from his father. He was also an aficionado and reader of all things related to World War II and the Civil War. He was a proud Veteran of the U.S. Army Reserves and loved his country.Wayne was preceded in death by his father, Wayne; and his mother, Jean.
