“The IAM and the state of Georgia mourn the loss of a dedicated leader,” said International President Robert Martinez Jr. “Wayne was a U.S. Marine veteran and mentored numerous IAM members throughout the state of Georgia and local Savannah area. Our prayers and thoughts go out to the Wallace family during this difficult period.”
