So sorry to hear of Wayne's passing. He was a part of a wonderful family . It is such a loss when one more Manor boy departs from us who grew up there.

To Karen and Kathy, Wayne will be sorely missed. He always had a joke or pleasant thing to say whenever I saw him. We shared many good times and enjoyed seeing him once in a while at the golf course. Always a smile and a great family member. I will always remember him and his quick wit. Take care to you both and your families

My condolences to the Edgley family. I played many rounds of golf with Wayne in the summers at Shennecossett Golf Course and will miss him. I've included a 2010 photo of happier times below. He was the best of our foursome - L to R: Rick Patenaude, Jim Cascio, Tournament Chair, Roger Bidwell, Pat Kelly, and the man himself, Wayne Edgley.

Dear Bernadine, Ryan, Shane & Family,
My deepest condolences to you all at this most difficult time. I remember Wayne fondly coming into CorePlus back in the “day” with his two beautiful boys. I also remember him being so nice & friendly to all of us and we had so much fun at our company picnics. He was a true family man and loved you all dearly.
Sending you all my thoughts & prayers.

Love,
Shelly Ashcom

We miss him so much already. The last few years, especially on our dinner club evenings, he was so funny. Those were the times he reminded us he wasn't as quiet and shy as people would think if he was with friends. Our hearts are broken, we have another angel now. We send all of our love to our dear Bernadine, Ryan and Shane. Debby and Paul Dumphy

Very sorry to hear this news. In HS, he called me “sparrow” and I called him “eagle”. Now my mom calls me sparrow and she is the eagle.
