Dad was born on March 13, 1943 in Medicine Hat, Alberta. Dad met the love of his life, Jo, in Bow Island one evening in early spring 1964 on his way to a dance. It was love at first sight and they got engaged that same year on mom’s birthday, September 11. Mom and Dad were married on January 15th, 1965 and welcomed their first daughter, Tracey, later that same year and their second daughter Tara 4 years later. Dad’s heart was full of joy with his girls and from then on, the grey hair started. Dad was like a big brother and friend to Les and Larry whom he loved very much. To dad, we were all one big happy family that he cherished.
Dad went to Olds College and worked for both the Alberta Government and the County of Warner for many years. Dad was an avid curler and golfer and member of Land O Lakes Golf Course. Over the years, dad loved to go hunting wild birds, fishing, reading and spending time with his family and friends.
We know dad is already out golfing and will be enjoying a glass of red wine with his pizza!
At dad’s request, there will be no funeral service. A celebration of dad’s life will be held at a later date for the immediate family.
In lieu of flowers, the family request that you please make a donation to the Canadian Cancer Society in Wayne’s name.
Cremation entrusted to Martin Brothers Funeral Chapels.
