Dear June
So sorry to hear of your brother Wayne's passing. Sounds like he was a man who always knew happiness is not a destination but a a journey.
I always thought it would take longer to get this old. Reminiscing about our days at RDHS and the activities and friends we shared always gives me pleasure. However I do regret failing to keep in contact with you and other classmates from those days,
If you did travel this way to attend Wayne's celebration of life I hope you have time to contact me.

Dear Deb, Lisa, Georgia, Kennedi and Jason,
We are very sorry for your loss.
We are so happy though we were able to see you both last April. We will always remember how happy Wayne was showing us around his and Grandma's old stomping grounds. What a fantastic memory. So many memories, from camping at the Hummingbird as a kid ( Wayne tried scaring us kids by pushing over trees like a bear), to a Calgary Flames Game, playing Rummy at every holiday as a family, Hale Lake Rodeo and too Calgary when us Franczak kids would stay at your place in the city. Wayne will always be missed bet never Forgotten.

My sincere sympathy upon reading of the passing of Wayne. I recall memories of us in the one room school house in Cleeves with our teacher and mentor, Mrs. Carrie Gillard.
I also was fortunate to have spoken to Wayne in the past year as he was a driver for the Canadian Cancer Society where I too volunteered. He still had his sense of humor from the Cleeves School days.
My sympathy to his family.
Sincerely,
Helen

All of us at the Ridgetown Lawn Bowling Cub are deeply saddened at the loss of Wayne. He served as our President and I was the vice-president. Wayne was fantastic to work with. I enjoyed the many stories of the interesting things he had done and places where he lived. Debbie, I had not heard that Wayne was ill, I for sure would have visited him. We extend deepest condolences to all of Wayne's family and to his many friends he acquired from his journey through life. Stan & Edna Brien

We have only known Wayne for the past year, but we know that he will be sorely missed. We never saw him without a smile on his face. Even through his recent accident, he always was thankful that it wasn't worse than it was. He certainly had a zest for life, and enjoyed each day that God gave him. There was always a story to hear, a joke to share and an adventure awaiting. We are proud to have met him, and to have called him a friend. We wish God's peace for his family. We know that many memories and happy times will comfort you in the coming days. God bless. Sincerely, Mike & Mary Van Horne

We appreciated Wayne coming to pay his respects when our mother, Betty, passed away in 2012. My father, Bud Sr, and brothers, Bud & Rob, hope that you are surrounded with family and friends at this time to warm your heart and lift you up during this difficult time.
May god bless you and keep you.
