Wayne came into our lives 35 years ago, on a Saturday afternoon when he came in to play in a weekly dart tournament at the bar which Yvonne’s parents used to run. From the moment he started throwing those Hammerheads we knew he was impressive; who would have thought he’d go on to become a world champion!
Wayne was friendly, smart, and funny. He was approachable and easy to talk to, always willing to listen to anyone and everyone. He quickly became our friend and later our brother-in-law. We are so grateful we got to call Wayne family and had so many great opportunities to create memories together. Donnie loves to reminisce about the days he and Wayne would throw those darts together.
Wayne was a groomsman at our wedding, and he’ll always have a special place in our hearts; as he will in so many of us who were lucky enough to call him a friend. Some of our favourite memories of Wayne are watching the Rider games together, playing poker, when he’d whip out the acoustic guitar, his many jokes, that crinkled-up nose laugh when he’d let loose an “Eeee!”, and the classic high-fives. Wayne wasn’t much of a hugger but he was always ready with a high five. He will be greatly missed.
With all of our love and condolences,
Verna, Donnie, and Family
