Oxner, Wayne Elden, 72, of Liverpool, Queens County, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, September 14th, 2016, in Queens General Hospital, Liverpool, surrounded by his loving family.

His career was fishing and Wayne has worked on various fishing vessels, including his own, retiring at the age of 65 finishing on Clearwater’s “Artic Endurance”. His passion was woodworking and Wayne incorporated his love of the sea into various fishing boats he had made. Above all, Wayne’s family was the most important to him.
He is survived by his loving wife, Dorothy (Malone); his sons; Dennis (Kelly) and Wade (Angela), both of Liverpool; Murray (Carrie), of Alberta; his grandchildren Christopher, Kyle (Sausha), Ryan and Madisyn and his great-grandchildren Sophie, Ethan and Jasper; his sister Geraldine Hannams, of Lunenburg and many special nieces and nephews.

I was saddened to see that Wayne has passed. He was such a kind person. I will never forget what you both did for me when my Mom passed. If there is anything that I can do for you just let me know. My thoughts are with you at this difficult time.
Heather and John Stevens
Dorothy, Dennis, Wade, Murray and family,
We are so sad to hear that Wayne has passed. We thought he was doing so much better. John and I always felt it was fate that both he and I grew up with your family as neighbours and then we ended up married. We often share “Dorothy and Wayne” stories when we need a good laugh and a smile – how lucky we both were to have you next door. We are glad you got to have some extra time together and celebrate your anniversary with the whole family. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you all, and he will forever hold fond memories in our hearts.
Love Heather and John Stevens
