Predeceased by infant granddaughter Kaitlyn. Wayne is also survived by his siblings Joyce, Murray (Lynne), Gail (Doug), Alan and many nieces and nephews.

Wayne was truly a selfless man volunteering much of his time and making friends within the Dunnville Fire Department, Dunnville Minor Hockey, the FFAO and HN REACH becoming not only our hero but hero to many!
