He is also survived by Barbara Clayton Drysdale, his long-term companion and caregiver. Additionally, he is survived by many life-long friends and colleagues, all of whom he treasured dearly.

Wayne lived a rich life, full of adventure and productivity. He had many interests, many talents, and many careers. He was an artist, a musician, a statistician, a code-breaker, a veteran, a business owner, a teacher, a technology pioneer, an ordained minister, a father and grandfather, and a brilliant, matchless wit. He was quick and hilarious, full of knowledge, puns, and answers. He had an amazing, truly photographic memory, and you could see the amused twinkle in his eyes when he would display this acuity to the astonishment of others. He played trombone and piano flawlessly and with passion, and he was a deeply devoted intellectual who relentlessly searched for truth and clarity in all matters temporal and metaphysical. He knew more about baseball statistics than any computer, and he had a killer pitching arm. He composed glorious music. He was one-of-a-kind, and he will be sorely missed.

While in high school, he worked during the summers in Cocoa Beach, Florida, for his father, Ralph Stanley Baxley, a mortician, and he was proud of this service.

He was a member of the American Federation of Musicians, and he worked vigorously to promote live performance of music. His original compositions, primarily performed on the piano, were a delight to family, friends and audiences in Northern California and beyond.

Wayne served in the U.S. Air Force during the Vietnam War, first as an intelligence analyst for the NSA (National Security Agency), then as a bandsman, serving as Staff Arranger. For both positions, Wayne made significant contributions, for which he was recognized and awarded the Air Force Commendation Medal for outstanding achievement. He also won a Thomas Jefferson Award for his composition work for the Air Force; this award was part of a special category Grammy Award, and of this, he was very proud.

He loved living in Alaska, and many of his award-winning photographs were of the stunning natural beauty of the surrounding landscape he loved so much.

Wayne was a multitalented artist, and he created original artwork called "Metagraphs. Additionally, he enjoyed restoring rare and damaged antique artwork and was proud to have co-authored a book with David Beach; this book included more than 1,200 images. Waynes most recent endeavor was to provide counseling services and writings on world philosophies and various religions, and in leading the world-wide discussion group, Ta Ahura, he wrote and shared thousands of articles on both topics.

Wayne was educated and erudite.

2. "Tis said, the pipe and lute that charm our ears
Derive their melody from rolling spheres" - J. Rumi (13th Century).
