Sorry to hear of Wayne's passing. Although I had not seen Wayne in many years, I still had many fond memories of him from Glace Bay, when we both rode Triumph motorcycles in the early 1970's. I remember him letting me take his Triumph "chopper" for a spin. I felt very proud to have been granted that privilege. He was a great guy, I pass on my sympathy to Joann, his wife and to Gerry his brother. He will be missed. Conrad LeLièvre, New Minas

When I was growing up in Glace Bay, Wayne, who was a few years older than me, was the cool, handsome dude who drove a motorcycle. Several years later, when I got to know Wayne, it made me happy to learn that the cool, handsome dude was also a sweet and kind man. Such a devoted father and with Joann, part of a beautiful couple. So very, very sorry to learn of his passing and of your loss. Faith & Londo

Joann and boys, please accept my deepest condolences. Growing up on King Edward St. I've known Wayne for a long time. I got back in touch with him when I joined Perry's. He always asked about my uncle Jim Nightingale, pals from the old days. And his knowledge of music was impressive. The world turns a little different today with his loss. May his memory be a blessing to us all.
