Wayne lived his life with a warmth that welcomed everyone who crossed his path.A man who loved hunting and fishing, riding on his quad or a good game of cards, he could often be found watching the perfect sunset from his deck overlooking the ocean in McDougall's. Though he was a man of few words, his friendly demeanour meant that when he did speak, everyone listened—and usually ended up having a laugh. In the midst of all that, Wayne worked with Newtel for 30 years and later had a hand in the family jewellery store. He loved his family fiercely, treasured lifelong friends, and always had a drink ready to share with anyone who stepped through the door. Whether he was cooking up something delicious on the BBQ, fixing something at the bench, or humming along to Bob Seger, Wayne brought fun, kindness, and a genuine love of life to everything he did. Everyone would agree, he was a GREAT man.
