Wayne was one of God's helpers - Wayne had such a positive influence on so many people in this community. I remember going into Penns Apco and always getting Wayne's "Full Service with a Smile!" Waynes heart was big and attitude towards all ages so uplifting and positive. Wayne was just one of those special guys God put here to help him out and Wayne did HIM proud! We will miss him.

Wayne helped teach Jack to ride a bike with Bud Fraker down our street and they had more fun then he did! When Wayne was coming to Opitmist meetings he always made sure I had a glass of juice so I "would grow". Wayne was a good man, good neighbor and a great guy. He will be greatly missed. Betty you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.

Betty and girls, Wayne was one of the nicest men we had the opportunity to know. He made just stopping to get gas a special day just with his smile. He made APCO one of the community business that did put the "C" in caring. God Bless you all. He and David are finally together and I am sure having a great time catching up on old times..

Betty, We both got to know Wayne through the station. Then we got to spend a lot of time with the two of you at any type of sporting event that Ben and Keegan were involved in. You two were great fans and followers! If you guys weren't there, we knew something had to be terribly wrong. We have missed seeing you guys that often since the boys are all grown up now. Wayne was a great man and we will miss him even more now. You, Becky and Rick,and Ben and the rest of your family are in our thoughts and prayers. Take care of each other. Love, Mike and Cathy

Betty, Becky, Susan & Debbie( and family)---I have not seen Wayne in years...but that does not change the respect and love that I have always felt for him. I have fond memories of growing up in Garnett, and of the kindness that Wayne and the Penn family always displayed towards me. I always felt that Wayne would be there if I needed advice and that he was somehow a link back to my father. He was an important part of all that is good about growing up in a small town. I know that he will be missed and please know that you will all be in my thoughts and prayers. Mike Whipps

Frank & Joyce Martin posted a condolence
Betty & Family -- I have a smile on my face and a laugh in my heart as I remember Wayne coming to City Hall to sell onions. I never wanted a full sack so he'd always come in and ask if Joyce wanted her 2 l/2 onions. Wayne was truly one of the greatest people in Garnett. He lived his life to help make Garnett what a wonderful town it is. When our boys were little, they always looked forward to seeing Betty & Wayne at Penn's Apco.
They had their money clutched tight in their hands as they made their way from our house to the highway. We were never quite sure what they might come home with and what stories they would tell that Wayne shared with them. We will always remember his smile and the fondness he had for everyone he met. We are better people because of him.

Back in the "ole days" -one would stop for gas in the AM and Wayne's wonderful manner would get you ready for the day. Then if one would stop in the late afternoon, that friendly personality would certainly lighten one's load. Such a super nice man!

Les & Lennet Thomas posted a condolence
Over 40 years ago we met Wayne at Penn's Apco, we liked and trusted him from the start. There is not just one word that can describe him...except maybe love. He loved everyone and they loved him--young and old alike.
Later on when we met Betty and felt the same for her. Garnett is much better for knowing the Penn family and Waynes twinkling smile. As we celebrate knowing Wayne, our prayers are with you.

Diana McIntosh posted a condolence
There are very few folks I really consider a "staple" of Garnett however, Wayne and Betty are two of those folks. I remember Wayne and Betty from Apco and from the First Christian Church. When you say Wayne and Betty you automatically think of the Penn's. They just seem to go together. Betty will be so lost w/o Wayne. Garnett will be so lost without Wayne. For those who grew up around Garnett, for those who frequented Apco, for those who attended First Christian Church; it won't be the same. Wayne and Betty seemed to be so happy and one of the best examples I can think of for respected business folks, admirable married folk, devoted Christian folk, and those folk who always seemed to have a smile on their face. They truly were/are loved and admired. I truly cannot think of enough good things to say or the right type of words that give them true justice.
My thoughts and prayers to the entire family and to the community. Garnett has lost an inspiration.

Les Thomas posted a condolence
I can't remember a time in my life that I didn't know Wayne Penn or the Penn family nor can I imagine it ever not being that way. Wayne was a pillar in our church, our community and in my life. I enjoyed our conversations and the times we had in shrine meetings and parades.

Betty, I don’t have anything profound to say that you won’t hear every time Wayne Penn’s name is mentioned. I couldn’t begin to list all of the fond memories I have of both yourself and Wayne. Just know this, The two of you are very special to me and I greatly appreciate everything you have done for me, my sisters and my parents. Wayne was one of the finest human beings I have ever known and I am fortunate to have called him my friend.

I am sorry to hear of Waynes passing. I remember him with a treasure of memories starting when I was Coordnator for the Anderson County Eckan Program. Wayne would always be the one to help organize help for our Christmas Bureau. He would help to make sure the Christmas Baskets were delivered to our families.
I also remember his help with the Optimist stand when they had it at the Sprint Go Kart Track at North Lake. He had such a wonderful warm smile, and always a kind word. He is missed I know by those whose lives he touched.
