In 1979 the Goldsmith family moved to Allan, SK when Wayne began working at the Allan potash mine. Wayne had a very successful career and made many, many great friends over his 33 years at the mine. Wayne retired in 2014 and still kept up daily coffee meetings with friends from the mine until this past fall. Wayne is lovingly remembered for his generous smile, sharp wit and love of playing practical jokes. Wayne enjoyed working in his garage, gardening, watching movies and camping. Wayne was a very loving, patient and thoughtful grandpa and will be deeply missed by his grandchildren.
