It is with great regret that I inform you that Wayne Buss died on December 2, 2004 in an automobile accident in Auckland New Zealand. He moved there shortly after selling the Carnation building downtown. He was very involved in the transformation of San Diego's downtown. He purchased a large property in New Zealand and became involved in environmental projects there.
