When you think of a character, I think of Wayne. Somewhere around town or at the beginnings of the Sunrise Rotary club, Wayne was there. He was a fun loving guy who always took time to chat. He will be missed. My condolences to the entire Wilson family and to all his friends. Rest well Wayne!
So sorry to learn of your husband's passing. May you find comfort in your good memories.
Shirley Ann and I send our deepest condolences on the passing of Wayne to you and the family. Over the years we developed a great friendship as without fail we would have a chat with him most Fridays at Rotary and we will miss them. It is an honour to make a donation in his name to the Rotary Foundation. Sincerely Bob
I am so very sorry to hear this - my condolences. I worked with Wayne at the Royal Service Cobourg office ... he was kind, always had a joke to tell and a bounce in his step. He will be missed.
Wayne was always such a wonderful part of our table at Rotary. So, so true on his sparkling eyes, quick, warm smile. I enjoyed trading barbs and quips with him. Wayne showed true kindness to me, and for that I am thankful to have met him, although for a very short time. I was never able to attend early enough it seems to buy that glass of wine for him - so for now, I raise a toast to him, and say "Thank you. You are special my friend.".
Our thoughts are with you Shirley & family. He was a true & kind gentleman.
Wayne was a warm and loving man. We will miss him at Rotary. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family, Shirley. May you be comforted by happy memories. Shirley Johnson

Wayne was such an amazing man! I enjoyed my time at Rotary with him and when he visited my shop we always had a grand chat. Quick with a smile and a funny turn of phrase, he will be truly missed. The world needs more people like Wayne.
