His beloved nephew Christopher W. DiGenova and wife Halie and their son Luciano Wade. Also, his best friend Forrest Planck of Jacksonville, Fl.

I met Wade at Rafferty’s in Syracuse many moons ago. Many of us were there for lunch, and enjoyed being there with a mutual friend Anita. I witnessed him remedy a threatening situation, before most of us knew what was really happening. A true gentleman. Rest in Peace Wade. Michele
Wade was a fantastic guy and one good cop. RIP

Growing up in Erieville it was always Wade, Neil (Jillson), Duane (Moore), Carl (Dillworth) and me (Skip Onyan). We were always together. We did everything from Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts….and every summer…little league, camping in the woods and of course “the rope”. I really loved those times and Wade was a huge part of our lives. He will be missed.
Thank you all so very much…
He was an amazing brother and came to my rescue more than once. I was blessed to have him in my life.
Rest in peace Wade…you will forever have a place in my heart💕
