Wayne Pritchard

March 5, 1940 – Oct. 27, 2024

Wayne Pritchard, 84, of Washington, D.C., passed away Sunday in Alexandria, Va., after an extended illness. He was born in Gallitzin, son of the late Gorman and Mildred (McCartney) Pritchard.

Wayne is survived by his sister, Judy Hoover (Richard) of Altoona; and many nieces and nephews.

Preceding Wayne in death were his sister, Thelma Snyder (Jerry); and a brother, James, both of Altoona.

Wayne enlisted and spent four years in the U. S. Navy in the early 1960s, settling in Washington, where he lived until shortly before his death.

He loved reading, history, his cats and most of all, opera. He was an avid collector and enjoyed finding hidden treasures wherever he could.

Wayne requested there not be a memorial service.
