Robert Wayne Hobson, universally known as Wayne, talked a lot, dreamed big and was so lighthearted about everything that his wife, Cindy, made him propose three times just to make sure he was serious. "He called me a hundred times during the day, always with some new idea or big plan for the future," Mrs. Hobson said.
Mr. Hobson, at age 36, left his job as a broker at the World Trade Center to fulfill one of his dreams, he opened Hobson's Choice in Hoboken, N.J. It soon became the place for his friends to get together after the stock market closed for the day, said Mrs. Hobson, who told her husband a more appropriate name for the bar was "Wayne's World."
In 1999, Mr. Hobson returned to the World Trade Center as a broker for Cantor Fitzgerald, but he kept the bar. "He loved to be around people," Mrs. Hobson said. "He had unlimited amounts of energy."
