On June 25, 1949, he was united in marriage to Bonnie Elsbury in Boise, Idaho.
They moved to Lake Mills in 1962.
He served as Lake Mills City Clerk for 15 years, was a member of Asbury United Methodist Church, and served as director of Elderbridge Agency on Aging. Wayne loved to tinker with and fix things with his hands. He could fix anything. And while working on these various projects, there was always a game on, either the Iowa Hawkeyes, Minnesota Twins, Vikings, or Chicago Cubs. He enjoyed cooking, baking sugar cookies, making caramel corn, and talking with friends over coffee.
He is survived by his loving wife Bonnie of Lake Mills; son Ron (Jan) Urban of Columbia, SC; daughter Kelly Krapek of Minnetonka, MN; grandchildren John Krapek (Becky Engel) of St. Paul, MN, Annie Krapek (Joel Hilden) of Minneapolis, MN, and Robert (Jordan) Urban; and great-grandson Davis Urban of Savannah, GA; sisters Alice Magana of Summerton, AZ and Lovella Reusch-Ernst of Colorado Springs, CO; along with many nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.
Wayne is preceded in death by his parents, brothers Glenn Urban, Francis Urban, and sisters Louise Thompson, Ardis Lukins, Elinor Green and Gladys Hull.
