To the Peterson Family, I am so very sorry for your heartbreaking loss.
I had the pleasure of visiting Leni's Dad at various times over the years. To me, he was a very special person ... he always happy to see you, and always made you feel welcome... good vibes you could say. We had a lot of interesting conversation, and a lot of laughs as I recall. I've always had the utmost respect for him. xo
"But as it falls unto my lot
That I must go and you must not
I'll gently rise and I'll softly call
Good night and joy be with you all"

Wayne was a character he'd throw back a shot of Jack and wedge it with a cold beer and spin you a story like a wagon wheel. Uncle Al mentioned just about everything Wayne loved except the Brill Bus. Dad used to ride a Brill to Westdale High circa 1950's. I learned about the Brill Bus. Years later on my travels I came across a Brill Bus in the middle of a field and took a pic and sent it to him, caption "Dad it's a Brill!" He was astonished and thrilled to see one after all those years. Wayne loved reminiscent things of the past.

Uncle Wayne was a strong inspiration to me throughout my entire life. He was tireless & a lot of fun to be around. His memory was eidetic... his stories could fill books. I will miss him greatly.

Our condolences to Georgina, Dwayne, Kelly, Leni, Randy, and Janine and families.
My brother Wayne leaves us with fond memories. Key words such as: the farm in Orkney, Kemptville Agricultural College, highest yield in corn, Minneapolis Moline, Hockey, C&W music, Playing the Guitar, Chet Atkins, Concrete contractor, Edsel, Rockton House, Cocktail meatballs, Elliot Lake, Life in BC, and the many stories he could tell with his great memory and the facts that he knew like the 112 piano manufacturers in the world.
You have left us with a legacy of fond memories. Enjoy your new Mansion over the hilltop.
Rest in Peace , dear brother Wayne,
Allan and Mary Petrisor and family
