Wayne and I were residents at St. Louis University together. A great person and a great surgeon and friend. May his memory be eternal.
My condolence to the Daum family. This is very sad news to hear of Dr Daums passing. I worked with him at the Westlake family health center for many years. He will be missed. I learned so much from him over the years. Thank you for all the bagels you brought us including after you retired. May you rest in peace.
I love you Wayne You will be sorely missed
Hope to see you in Heaven and share a drink and Cuban.

I was saddened to hear of Dr. Daum's passing. I had the opportunity to work with him at the Westlake Family Health Center. Our daily conversations mainly consisted of what happened in Cleveland sports the night before or discussing his family. He was always a gentleman. My condolences to the entire Daum family. May he rest in peace.
My condolences to your family on this immeasurable loss. I had the pleasure of meeting Wayne several years ago when he recruited me to sit on the Assad Abood Board. His intelligence, passion and integrity were evident from our very first meeting and I feel honored to have known him. May he rest peacefully. Lisa Hanna M.D.
We lost an avid board member. Wayne served the Assad Abood Foundation with all his heart. All of his hard work will remain a great legacy. We will miss you dear friend and cousin.

Dear Nancy and Family,
Sincere condolences on the passing of Wayne. If anyone epitomized the description of a “Gentleman and a scholar”-it was Wayne.
Wayne, Len Haas and I enjoyed sharing memories of our years at John Carroll-especially the 1966 trip to Washington D.C. as chaperones on a Plain Dealer sponsored tour and NFL game. This was part of our JCU experience that we cherished reliving whenever we were together.
With so many more fond memories from over 50+ years we will have Wayne in our hearts.
Bob & Ingrid Sledz & Family
Trivia was certainly a part of his life. I can recall more than a few times, around the Daum dinner table, having to answer a trivia question in order to have a dish passed my way.
The first time I had met Wayne Nancy and Wayne came to my apartment to pick me up they were taking me out to dinner I had never seen Wayne before he had never seen me he rushed up to me pick me up off the ground and gave me a big hug I'll never forget that
