To the family of Irving Wayne Morris Fairbairn:
Please accept my condolences on the passing of Wayne.
My family and I were longtime neighbours since the early 70s, and our children were friends and attended the same schools.
I have not personally seen Wayne for many years but my Son Todd is a good friend with his boys who are Halifax Constables.
You have crossed the bar into the home of God and your journey is over.
A pleasure to have known you and the family.
R.I.P.
Ronald J. Yaschuk Sr. CPO Ret’d.

Our deepest condolences to our friends Evelyn, Steve & Scott and all of the Fairbairn family. We know he will be missed. xox
