Mr. Eure was born February 16, 1938 in Hattiesburg, MS to Thomas and Rowena "Nixon" Eure. Wayne served a tour in the Marines after graduating Hattiesburg High School and he trained as a butcher and worked in the supermarket meat business for forty years. He loved to fish, and watching western movies and reading novels. He was very active in sports earlier in life where he played football, ran track, and also was a boxer in the Marine Corps.
