I will always remember the good times at the Jolliffe residence and how I was treated as a family member each time I visited. Your love for life carries on with your children and with their children. Peace and love to you all.

I was a young adventurer at age of 25. I had packed a back pack and a tent and flew from edmonton Canada to hitch hike and camp in Hawaii in 1980. Quite daring as I had never been there before. I did not know what to expect. I ended up in Maui and camped at a little town called Keihe. Long story short, I ran out of cash and met Robin and Mary thru a job I was working on. They took me into their home in Kaanapali and let me work on their home painting till I was able to catch a flight home. During that time I met Wayne. This family had taken in a stranger to help him out and get back on his feet. I had never met such a wonder family. I had stayed in contact thru these years but sadly not enough. I think of the Jolliffe family constantly and they were good to this young man.
God bless you Wayne,you will missed and always remembered.

So sorry to hear of this loss. Wayne was my cousin. His father and my mother were twins. I have wonderful memories when Wayne, Michael and David and I and my two twin brothers would play as children. We were very fortunate to have so much time with Uncle Robin and Aunt Mary and our cousins when were were younger.

Genee - Linda and I were so saddened to hear of Wayne's passing. We lost touch with one another over the years but we never will forget all the good times we had coaching the kids. You and the entire family will be in our hearts and even though its been a while since we last saw each other we hope that you will let us know if there is anything - anything at all that we can do to help out or assist you in the future. With our love and sympathy. Linda and Dirk

Genee and family, I was sorry to hear of Wayne's passing. The last time we ran into each other was either at the Credit Union when we all visited in the van and had a few laughs or was at FRY's when some of the family was inbound for a visit...either way it was always good to see you both. These are tough times for sure, but I wish you comfort and peace Genee.

Genee, Wayne was a good partner in my field support work. His humor defused many tense situations and gently reinforced the needs of the customer. Charlie
