So very sorry to learn of Wayne’s passing. He was my hockey coach in Parksville in the late 70’s. A true gentleman and an inspiration to all us young guys. I managed to connect with him through another member when he was a realtor. Remembered me and my car (he gave me a few passes back in the day). He was a credit to the uniform and someone I’ll never forget!

Wayne and I worked uniform in Surrey in the early '80s. Since then we have known Wayne as a friend and very professional and ethical Real Estate Agent.  I am sorry I missed the funeral as I was out of the country.  He will be greatly missed and our hearts go out to Wayne's family.

I worked for Wayne in property crimes in 1995 and Wayne was our real estate agent for our first home.  Wayne had a sense of
class. A man we respect.  To the Family- Wayne was a man loved and respected.    Bob Wood and Family   Langley BC

Very saddened to hear of Wayne's passing.  He and I were troopmates at Depot (Troop 15 1975 / 1976 - 1975-10-27 / 1976-05-03).  We lost touch with each other, given our postings, until last year when I was able to meet with him at his home and had the honour of him autographing my copy of "Souls Behind The Badge".  I wish for his family to be able to find peace someday over their great loss.

I first met Wayne when transferred to Surrey in 89 and became part of the exceptional team of the Serious Crimes Unit, of which, Wayne was an obvious leader.  He provided highly motivated and thorough process in his investigative techniques, and for one, showing me how to adjust to the extreme pace and "expect anything" for the 7 years of our contact together. He was always able to come up with the right avenue with the varried files that he took on.  A sad loss for many of us.  I pass on my condolences to Wayn's entire family, and friends of many.
