Wayne was always playing pranks on those he loved, and giving us that crazy grin of his, to show that he once again "got ya". Through good times and bad no one in the family ever doubted his love. They knew he would move heaven and earth for them to be happy. His natural kids and those he claimed as his "adopted kids" loved him and proudly called him Dad. We all knew no matter how full the house was, there was always room for one more. Wayne is irreplaceable, and as someone said, they broke the mold when they made him. Our Dad Had a smile that touched everyone's heart A smile we know never will part He's gone now But forever in our hearts We love you Daddy We'll see you soon You will never leave us As long as we remember The beautiful smile on your face. The family would like to extend a huge thank you to Mark and Mike for their courageous help and lifesaving efforts. Also thank you to the paramedics and staff at the MICU department at the Health Sciences Centre. Especially Wayne's nurse Jessica, you are incredible and we will forever remember your kindness.

Many happy times were spent at the lake and on Boulder Bay, especially Christmas Eve. Mom loved sports. She traveled with Joe to many old time hockey games in Canada and the USA. Blanche and Joe especially enjoyed following son Randy in hockey and baseball. Baseball became a passion. Helen and Blanche would be watching television and talking on the phone about the games. Blanche enjoyed her grandchildren and great-grandchildren; attending sporting events, concerts, teas, dance recitals and birthdays. Mom loved anything small and always said "Isn't that cute." Bob always made a point of finding the cutest little things for her. She appreciated Bob's help with the big stuff. She was predeceased by her husband Joe; son Randy; and dog Jessie.
