Wayne Kenneth Neubauer, 72, of Vernon, formerly of Manchester, husband to his high school sweetheart of 51 years, Marlene (LaPlante) Neubauer, passed away unexpectedly Monday, November 11, 2019, surrounded by his family. Born March 21, 1947 to the late William and Alice Mae (Hutton) Neubauer, he was raised in Manchester, graduating from Manchester High School in 1966. Wayne worked for Barrieau Moving & Storage for 18 years and then went into business with his son Jason, which were truly the best years of his professional life. He was an avid golfer and was able to fulfill a lifetime dream of attending the Masters. He enjoyed UCONN Women’s basketball and discussing the games with his son and brother-in-law. Happy hour was a weekly ritual with his son, daughter, wife, brother and friends. The love of his family was his greatest reward, and his biggest pride was watching his grandchildren play soccer and grow.
