Obituary of Robert Wayne Lewis

On Saturday, 26 December, 2020, Robert “Wayne” Lewis of Brookside, N.S, passed away suddenly at the age of 71 years. Wayne is lovingly remembered by his wife and best friend, Brenda (nee Rankin), and his children Sarah (Nick), Rebecca (Nathan), Matthew and Emily, and his beloved grandchildren Petina, John Hayward, Greta and Flo, and sister-in-law Edna Lewis. Wayne was part of a large and loving family, and will be deeply missed by his brother-in laws and sister-in laws, and many nieces and nephews. Wayne was predeceased by his brother, Alec Lewis. Wayne was born in Lower Island Cove, Newfoundland. He graduated from MUN in 1969, and then from NSTC (now Dalhousie University) with a degree in Electrical Engineering in 1971. He met Brenda shortly thereafter, and they married in 1974. Wayne primarily worked as an engineering consultant and project manager during his long and successful career, and was the primary owner of Lewis Engineering Inc. He retired from engineering while working at CBCL in 2014. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, there will be a private service only. A celebration of Wayne’s life will be organized at a later date. Donations can be made in his name at a charity of one’s choosing.
