Wayne Hughart

Burlington Wayne Richard Hughart, 68, left our world on Thursday, August 13, 2015 at Alamance Regional Medical Center after years of failing health. He was born in Dover, Delaware to the late Granville Ansbury Pepper and Grace Farenkopf Kelly. At the time of his death, he was surrounded by the ones he most loved. After his brother's passing in Vietnam, Wayne enlisted and served there as well. He spent his adult years as a General Contractor who worked on commercial and residential real estate, traveling the country building condominiums and hotels, restaurants, bars and hospitals. He was lucky enough to marry his high school sweetheart, Hope, and together they had two daughters, Christine and Cynthia. They were his pride and joy. Wayne's latter years as a bachelor found him traveling the country with his loved ones. Survivors include daughters Christine Sisco Stephen and Cynthia Hughart-Schultz, grandchildren Mitchel, Shelby and Meagan Sisco as well as Quentin and Nathaniel Schultz. He was adored by his little brother Bruce Hughart Sheila and nephew Keith Hughart. Cousins Gordon and Wanda Keene were as good as siblings, and their children, Julie, Lynn and Greg were much like his own. A viewing has been scheduled for 12:45pm on Monday, August 17th with a memorial service to follow in the chapel at Lowe's Funeral Home at 2pm. The Sisco Family will open their home in Graham for a reception directly following. A private burial will take place in Salisbury, NC at a later date. In lieu of flowers, his family welcomes you to make a donation to the Wounded Warriors Fund at USO.org For the website: Burlington Wayne Richard Hughart, 68, left our world on Thursday, August 13, 2015 at Alamance Regional Medical Center after years of failing health. He was born in Dover, Delaware to the late Granville Ansbury Pepper and Grace Farenkopf Kelly. At the time of his death, he was surrounded by the ones he most loved, and he went out of this world the same way he came in, kicking and screaming. According to the tales his mother told, he was lucky to survive his childhood. He was beyond mischievous, he snuck out at night, drove too fast and had a pension for a nice cold Coors Light. He liked to live large; family vacations meant dad was paying and all the kiddos were going. He was no Boy Scout but he was proud to be in DeMolay early on, and when his older brother died in Vietnam, he proudly enlisted and fought for his country. Wayne did manage to survive his childhood, and spent his adult years as a General Contractor who worked on commercial and residential real estate, traveling the country building condominiums and hotels, restaurants, bars and hospitals. He had a blast in the process. He married his high school sweetheart, Hope, and together they had two daughters, Christine and Cynthia. They were his pride and joy. If you asked him, he would still groan and smile simultaneously relating stories of pom-poms and first dates, band trips and detours to the emergency room. Like his momma said, he did one day have children who returned to him the ruckus he so freely passed out while young. Wayne's latter years as a bachelor took him on holidays with the kids and grandkids, but few he enjoyed more than the all-nighters with his cousins Gordon and Wanda at Cherokee Casino, as well as the Branson marathon of shows he got to take with his amazing little brother Bruce fondly known as Uncle Santa and nephew Keith Hughart. Wayne was a man who endeared family, so any time he could hop on his scooter and chase them around, he was on it! Wayne received not one, but two Purple Hearts in Vietnam. He was a sentimental fool, writing poems while there that were later published and read by his mother in Miami on Veterans Day for years to come. Survivors include daughters Christine Sisco Stephen and Cynthia Hughart-Schultz, grandchildren Mitchel, Shelby and Meagan Sisco as well as Quentin and Nathaniel Schultz. He was adored by his little brother Bruce Hughart Sheila and nephew Keith Hughart. Cousins Gordon and Wanda Keene were as good as siblings, and their children, Julie, Lynn and Greg were much like his own. His canine companion, "Princess".
