He was born November 17, 1929, to Stillman Havener and Edith (Winchenbach) Havener.

Wayne was a life-long fisherman tending to his traps up until he was 87 years old. Many of his grandchildren would go out with him as sternmen. “To him a bad day on the lobster boat was better than a good day elsewhere.”
