Harold Wayne Luquer was born in 1928, the youngest of six children of Herbert and Annie (Garrett) Luquer. He graduated from Jamestown High School with the first class that required twelve years of schooling for a diploma (prior to that there had been only eleven years required). He was trained in bookkeeping and worked for Highland Container Corporation in Jamestown for several years as an accountant/office manager. Later he worked for Paramount Paper Corporation, which later became Leggett & Platt Corp as comptroller. In 1950 he married his wife who survived him along with two sons, a daughter, five grandchildren and numerous great-grandchildren.
Wayne was a man of many talents, and he was generous with those talents to help others. He was an excellent woodworker and made many items as gifts for family and friends. He volunteered for Habitat for Humanity on projects to build or rehabilitate houses for those in need, particularly after storms had damaged many dwellings. He was also a talented musician as were several of his siblings. In addition to singing in the church choir at Jamestown United Methodist Church, he was a guitarist and enjoyed playing for others. At one time, he and his friend, the late Bow Stafford, formed a band, called "The Wayne-Bow Boys", who entertained at club meetings and nursing homes in the area. He also enjoyed tennis and played doubles tennis into his eighties before switching to pickle ball because he felt he couldn't move fast enough to be fair to a tennis doubles partner.
He coached a Pony League team for the Greensboro district for several years and taught first aid and civil defense classes for the American Red Cross.
He died after several months of failing health.
