Not sure what to say?

We miss Wayne and Marian . We spent many evenings playing games, talking ,laughing, eating and just enjoying each other's company. We built wonderful memories together.they will last forever in our hearts.

To know Wayne for less than a year, but to be so moved by his passing is testament to the influence he had in so many lives. His spirit continues with his family, and for that I smile amids the tears. Rest in everlasting peace, my friend. 73's - November Eight X-ray Quebec Hotel

Nancie,

I cherish knowing your dad! His patience, kindness and sense of humor made quite an impression on me, and those traits certainly rubbed off onto you.

I feel blessed to have known him, as I feel blessed to know you & Steve.

My thoughts are with you at this difficult time.

Hugs,

My thoughts and prayers go out to your entire family as Wayne was a very special person who I enjoyed talking with at all of our baseball events. An avid baseball fan who supported Brayden everystep of the way and the teams he played on. He will be deeply missed with wonderful memories to cherish each and everyday.

Michelle & family, thinking of you during this most difficult time. I can only imagine the pain your heart must be feeling right now. Just remember that your dad will always be with you. He will still guide you when you need him most. My thoughts & prayers are with you.

Nancie, may you and your family find comfort in each other and in the many happy memories you share during this difficult time.

Gwen, if you see this, know that I'm thinking about you. I saw this too late to come to the funeral home tonight. I know Wayne will be missed.

To the Dowling Family and especially Marion, I was so saddened to hear of Wayne's passing. I can still hear his laugh, see that twinkle in his eye. He was a special man and will leave fond memories in the hearts of everyone that knew him. My prayers are with you in this difficult time.
