We are shocked and saddened at Wayne's passing. We have only dealt with W. G. Osborne for couple of years but have been very pleased with the caring and responsiveness of Wayne and his crew. It was obvious that looking after the safety of children was foremost in Wayne's mind. Please accept our deepest condolences and know that we will remember Wayne with great respect.
