Wayne Dayton Kline, Melvin Joseph retiree

February 6, 2024

Wayne Dayton Kline of Millsboro passed away Monday, Jan. 29, 2024. He was born Sept. 27, 1957, in Lewes, son of the late John A. Kline and Betty Sacona Lowe (Melvin Lowe).

Wayne worked for Melvin L. Joseph Construction Company for over 34 years. He loved what he did as a heavy equipment operator and took pride in his work. Riding down the road, he could easily tell you the many sites and areas he previously worked on. Wayne enjoyed Harleys, working on cars, music, NASCAR, his cats (Sam in particular), and living life to its fullest. He was a caring, loving man, who was quick with a joke and wanting to make others laugh.  

He was preceded in death by his parents, a brother, and his wife, whom he was with for nearly 36 years, Filomena Anne Kline. He is survived by three stepchildren, Thomas Hutson (Scarlett) of Pennsylvania, Katherine Burris (Brian) of Delaware, and Donald Hutson (Sarah) of Delaware; and his grandchildren, Kaleb Hutson, Kaden Hutson, Samuel Burris, Alivia Hutson, Luke Burris and Kameron Hutson. He is also survived by his brothers and sisters, John Kline, Audrey Kline, Sandra Waples and Mike Kline; and multiple nieces and nephews. 

A memorial service will be held at 11 a.m., Saturday, March 2, at Watson Funeral Home, Millsboro, with visitation from 10 to 11 a.m. Entombment will be held at Woodlawn Memorial Park immediately following the service.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Camp Barnes, c/o Troop 4, Delaware State Police, 23652 Shortly Road, Georgetown, DE 19947, ATTN: Jeff Hudson.
