Wayne Neyens (1918-2022)

Hello pinball friends,

It is with deep sorrow that I report the passing of Wayne Neyens, former Gottlieb pinball designer.

He passed away in hospice on July 30, 2022 surrounded by his family. He was 104.

Wayne designed many well-known EM pinball machines for Gottlieb from 1949 to 1976. We list them here:

He very much wanted to reach his 104th birthday which was July 29th. And he did.

Wayne was a very nice man and had many pinball friends.

Thank you,

Jay

Rest in peace Mr. Neyens.

Yesterday went one of the greats of the pinball world and who was part of one of the most beautiful times, the electromechanical pinball.

Thank you Jay for letting us know.

Sad news, though he enjoyed a long (and surely exciting) life.

Rest in peace.
