  • My sincerest condolences to all of your family and friends…. Wayne was a unique man, I got to know him about 20-25 years ago and he had a huge heart or he was just a sucker for a young girl’s smile 😂😂😂 he made my daughters 18th birthday with a plane ride I don’t think she’ll ever forget . A definite loss for everyone 😥🙏🙏🙏

  • I’m sorry for your loss. Wayne was one of the best, we had many chats during my time as airport manager in Tillsonburg. I’m flattered to see you chose one of my pictures of Wayne as his obituary picture. We had a lot of laughs and I have fantastic memories of Wayne.
