Power, strength, integrity, the will to overcome any challenge and do it while still smiling. This is how I describe my uncle Wayne…… I carry with me a great sense of pride knowing that my father named me after the strongest, most honest, well respected and hard working man to walk amongst us for all these years. Thanks for all you have taught us uncle Wayne. “A true man amongst men”

Ken & Bonnie Pratt says
Donna and family, we are sorry to learn of Wayne’s passing. Wayne took life and all it dealt him as a stand up guy. No more proof of his resolve can be found in the fact he was a die-hard Leaf fan to the bitter end. He can sit around the coffee shop table in heaven with Foster, Tim, Syl and Charlie C. and get the real 411 on what it will take to get them back to 1967 standards. Knowing him once he has the answer he’ll find a way to get it back to us. Blessings, Ken and Bonnie Pratt

Donna, Mike and Veronica:
Words cannot express the feelings I have with the passing of Wayne. He was one good friend and the last couple of days I have had so many memories of good times spent with Wayne. Over the years he always managed to keep in touch and always had a comment about his Maple Leafs. Our visits lately were special with stories of the past and included dinner. He will always be remembered and I look forward to a visit with you in the near future

Wayne was so well known & loved in the community. He will be missed. As I think of him, I am reminded of the Friday nights when we would meet at the Legion for a few games of pool and lots of laughter. I can smile knowing that Wayne will be shooting a game of snooker with Harry, Kerry & Pinky! Sending hugs and loving thoughts.
