Such a nice man....
We have been neighbors of Wayne's for the last 30 years. He had a very positive attitude and was willing to help anyone that needed instructions on doing a project. Wayne helped us with a project in our bathroom. He constructed a base to hold a very heavy mirror to the wall.
He was always smiling. We met at the small pool and talked many times. He called us the "Twins".
He cared deeply for family and raised his grandson, Brandon.
fondly,
Val-Rae McGuirl and Carol-Lynn Straub

Laurie, Lisa and Steven, Walt and Dallas and Caroline,
We are saddened by the loss of your Wayne. It was my honor and privilege to have known him for 70 plus years. He was one of a kind. A wonderful lifetime friend to me and later to Jan. We wish we could join you for the service but our frail health keeps us from attending. Sadly, LaVerne and Jan Dratt

Dear ToyMakers,

It is with a very sad heart that I let you know of the passing of one of our ToyMakers.

Our beloved friend Wayne Gable passed away on Sunday morning (January 03, 2021). Wayne joined ToyMakers in 2014 and was an active volunteer until a few weeks ago. Wayne is best known for the delightful penguins and ducks with long handles which have brought smiles to many of the children at Tampa General Hospital. The hospital staff like them because the children in rehab are more excited to take their penguin for a walk than to just do the rehab exercise.

Wayne and Caroline also made unique “Jeep” boxes and business card holders, crayon carriers, and “flip cars with ramp" which they donated for our Silent Auction. Wayne also built the cabinets located under the drill presses at the workshop.

In addition to his woodworking, Wayne was also a constant promoter of ToyMakers with everyone he met resulting in a number of donations.

Wayne will be greatly missed by so many. Rest in peace Wayne.

Please keep his beloved Caroline, their family and friends in your thoughts and prayers.

Notes of sympathy and prayers are welcomed and can be sent to Caroline Smith, 3088D Grovewood Blvd., Palm Harbor FL, 34683.
