“We weren’t sure of how long Trooper Wilson would be in the hospital, how long it would take for him to recover, if his house would need any alterations when he got to come home, what his compensation would look like while he is off work recovering. Our group of friends came up with a few ideas, one of which was to start a GoFundMe and the other idea was to start planning a benefit with a silent auction to raise money for Trooper Wilson and the family. We wanted our friend to be able to focus on getting better and not get stressed out by any financial burdens.” - Cory Holliday, friend of Trooper Wilson 
With our condolences, we report the passing of retired Trooper Wayne L. Smith, 84, of Tiffin, who died peacefully at 11:36 p.m. Monday, March 27, 2023, at his residence. Wayne was a graduate of the 56th Academy Class. He retired in 1989. He is survived by his wife Shirley.
