Not sure what to say?

You are SO missed Wayne...

My condolences to Scott, Geoff, and the rest of the family. How many school kids learned how to evacuate a bus from Wayne? Having grown up in Royalston in the 70's-early 90's, the Newton name is very well known in town. Wayne will be missed. May he be at peace and may you heal from your loss.

A warm heart...and witty. Wayne always made me smile. Rest well.

Rest in eternal peace, Wayne. You will be fondly remembered always. We grew up in the South Royalston Protestant Church, with you as our organ player.
Love,
The Alexandrovich family

When I moved to Royalston in 1973, I soon became familiar with Wayne, a stalwart of this town. I came to appreciate his commitment to community life here. I heard Wayne play mournful organ music at a couple of funerals I attended, and then found out he played in a rock band in his youth. I said to Wayne, "That's cool. You should play at Royalston Open Mic sometime!" He just smiled. The last time I saw him, he had recovered from illness, and he was out and about delivering the Athol Daily...

Wayne was a great man. He touched the lives of all of us in the Royalston community and beyond. May he rest in peace.
With deepest sympathy,
The Bussiere family
