Enjoyed meeting and working with Wayne several years ago at St. Andrew’s. A very enthusiastic and great man with a vibrant personality. I can still see him helping us stuff mail-outs for Church members during Fr. Dan’s tenure. We have him on the prayer list here at All Saints Anglican Church.

To the family of Wayne:
I am so sorry that you have lost your son, your husband and your father. I worked with Wayne in the church office for a few years. I was always so impressed with his devotion and dedication to our parish. Wayne did so many tasks that were highly time-consuming as well as little things that matter a lot, but are unknown to most of the parishioners. He had so much talent for doing things that so many of us could not perform. He took part in so many aspects of our church. In addition to that, he would stand in for people who could not be there, or who had not showed up. He read from the lectern, he ushered, he carried the cross, he fixed the computers and printers and copy machine, he paid the bills, he made the bulletins and he made them beautiful. I know there are many things he did that nobody even knew about, but if they hadn’t been done, they would be missed.
We will miss Wayne for a very long time. Please know that we also feel very badly that you have lost him too early in your lives.
