Stephen “Wayne” Conn
1944-2020
Stephen “Wayne” Conn
Peacefully passed away on Friday February 21, 2020. Highschool
sweetheart of Beverley (nee Melick), loving father of Wayne (Julie)
Conn and Cheryl Conn-Costantini, and cherished grandfather of Autumn,
Madison and Chloe. Son of the late Stephen and Olive Conn, brother of
the late Victoria Morrison, Caroline (Bruce) Smith and Stephen
(Cheryl) Conn. Brother-in-law of Karen (late Glenn) and Jane (Louie)
Rossi. Wayne also leaves behind many nieces and nephews. Wayne
Sr.’s teenage years consisted of a variety of athletics,
including playing for the St. Catharines Teepees and Junior Blackhawks
as well as receiving many accolades for his athleticism, including the
“hardest slap shop in the league.” At the age of 23, he
began his dream of owning and operating an automotive shop and
full-serve gas bar. As a result of his dedication, hard work and
unwavering responsibility to provide for his family, Wayne created
S&W Service Centre, a successful business that continues to
operate today. When Wayne wasn’t working to provide his family
with all that he possibly could, he enjoyed watching black and white
movies, going to Merrittville Speedway to watch his son race, being
outdoors and spending time with his grandchildren. A special thank
you to cousin and funeral director, Rob Hubbert, for all of his
guidance and assistance during this difficult time. At Wayne’s
request, a private celebration of life will be held. If desired,
donations to The Heart and Stroke Foundation of Ontario would be
appreciated by the family.
Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Stephen Wayne Conn 2020..
