He was predeceased by his parents Art and Alice. Wayne will be missed by all his cousins and second cousins.
Wayne loved participating in family gatherings and taking family photos. He has family connections in Winnipeg, Kamloops and Vancouver which meshed nicely with his passion for road trips through the Canadian Rockies. He was a car enthusiast and regularly attended various cruise night and car club rallies around Winnipeg, always with camera in hand. Wayne lived his whole life with profound deafness but never let it stop him from enjoying every moment, encounter and experience. Rock-on Wayne.
The family would like to thank the staff at Grace Hospital for their compassion and care as Wayne struggled through the last few weeks with congestive heart failure.
Cremation has already taken place. As the times dictate and as Wayne indicated, there will be no service to celebrate his life. Interment will occur in the spring and hopefully afford an opportunity for family and friends to pay their respects at that time. An announcement of the interment will follow.
