So sorry to hear of Wayne’s passing. I remember talking to him at a Legion dance in the old hall and he told me he would dance a fast dance with a woman BUT….the only woman he would hold in his arms for a waltz was his wife. He said he hadn’t ever waltzed with anyone but her for over 28 years (at that time).
That type of love is immeasurable! RIP Wayne..
Murray and Donna Rolfe
Played baseball many years together with Wayne.We use to call him ‘BOOMER’ for all the home runs he would hit.
Lots of laughs and just a great Fellow.May god be with you Wayne.

Lynn Kempton-Lowe
To the MacLeod family, I’ve known Wayne for most of my life and am so sorry to read that he has passed away. When Debbie was admitted to Queen’s Manor, I saw Wayne on an almost daily basis, as I went back and forth to visit my husband, who is also a resident there. The way that he treated Debbie spoke volumes to me – he showed her such tenderness and love and even in the worst weather, he would manage to get down to see her. I offered him drives many times, but he said that he liked to walk and clear his head, but thanked me for my kindness. Debbie was fortunate to have a husband who loved her as he did and now he has gone to be with her once again. Wayne will be missed by all who knew him, but if he were here and given the choice to stay a while longer or go to be with Debbie, I feel that he would want to be with Debbie. Sincerely, Lynn
