Wayne was a friend of mine. I knew him since he was a boy when I sheared sheep out at his Dad and Mom's place before and after I was Supt. at Leyton. Wayne was an honorable and dependable man. He was a tremendous asset to the comunity, his farm and all his family. He was someone to look up to and use as an example. We will miss you Wayne.

In loving memory,

Don and Debbie Bartling

I did not know Wayne for all my life but I feel I knew him well. He loved life and was living it his way; working hard and loving his work. He was honest, generous and loved his family. Wayne will live on as long as we remember him. His passing is a great loss for all who knew him. May God Bless his children and family.
