Wayne and Daphne enjoyed their retirement to the fullest. He may have not got all the years they wanted but he made the ones he had count. They bought their retirement home in Florida 12 years ago. It was his happy place. He retired 9 years ago, sold his electrical business that he worked hard and long hours to make successful. They spent every winter they could there. He loved the golfing, sunshine and spending time socializing with all his new friends. He became part of another family. Most important of all he got to see his 2 grandchildren more and make beautiful memories with them.

Wayne was a true Toronto Maple Leaf fan, always believing in them and was known to say they'll get the cup next year. He was an active Mason and Shriner member. He had many brothers across the island who were honored to call him a friend.

He was a person you met once and then he was your friend. He was known to celebrate every holiday with his family to the fullest. From St. Paddy's Day, Canada Day, Birthdays, Christmas, New Year's he was all in. He loved to advertise he was a Canadian as well as a proud Newfoundlander. But maybe he loved his Toronto Maple Leaf's the most. He had car mats, t-shirts, hats, flags, cups and anything you could get boasting his favorite team.

Wayne will be forever missed for all his love he gave his family, his beautiful smile, his ability to laugh and enjoy every moment of life.

"It's not the years we had but the memories we made in the ones we lived."
