Wayne George Tomlin, age 74 of Millville, passed away peacefully at home, surrounded by his loving family, early on Tuesday morning, February 20, 2018.   Born and raised in Port Elizabeth to the late Howard, Sr. and Hester (Cappetti) Tomlin, Wayne attended school in Port Elizabeth and then went on to begin a lifelong career as an auto body repairman.  Wayne spent many years working at several local auto body repair shops until 1971, when he went to work at Tomlin Auto Body in Haleyville as an auto body technician, where he worked for over 34 years, retiring in 2005.   Wayne loved going deer hunting and was a proud member of the National Rife Association.  He also enjoyed weightlifting, fishing on the Manumuskin Creek, and walking down the Port railroad tracks.  Most of all, Wayne treasured the time that he was able to share with his family.   Wayne will be sadly missed by his loving wife of over 40 years, Maria (Martinez) Tomlin of Millville; one daughter Linda Tomlin of Maryland; one son Wayne Tomlin, Jr. of Millville; one brother Howard Tomlin, Jr. and wife Carolyn of Port Elizabeth; one sister Florence Mori and husband William of Millville; two grandchildren, Brandon Whilden and Leah Tomlin; two nephews, Donnie and Steve; one niece Melissa; many cousins; and his loving cat, Fur.  He was predeceased by one brother William Tomlin; one grandson Michael Whilden, Jr.; and grandparents Bill and Annie Morgan.
