Kelly (Michael), her daughters Kasey and Jorja, as well as his great-granddaughter Kennedy. Wayne was definitely surrounded by a lot of ladies! Wayne is also mourned by his brothers Bill (Jen), Leonard (Nancy) and sisters Shirley (Virgil), Gwen (Barry) and Jackie (Ken). Many Nieces and Nephews also held special places in his heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wayne worked at Hidden Hitch for over 30 years as a millwright mechanic, a job he loved. He made many friends and many long-lasting memories with his coworkers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wayne was the backbone of his family. For many years, he hosted the family pig roast, where many lifelong memories were made with family and friends. The best memories were always showcased on the &#8220;Fridge of Shame.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wayne loved the outdoors and spent many hours on the lake fishing and hunting. He loved working on vehicles, taking the rusty and old and giving them a shiny new life. There was nothing with an engine that he couldn&#8217;t fix. He was a well-recognized master craftsman, even taking on the challenge of designing and building custom woodstoves. You know you&#8217;ve got a Saunders Original if it has the famous welded hallmark &#8220;W.A.S.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In his later years, he made the holidaygoers&#8217; best-dressed list as he and Linda headed for warmer climates. You may not have known him by name, but the safari outfit was a head-turner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dad&#8217;s final days were peaceful, and he was comforted by the love of his family and the incredible people at Hospice Huntsville. Just like the rest of us, I&#8217;m sure they&#8217;ll smile with fondness when they think of him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In lieu of flowers, donations to the OSPCA or an animal rescue of your choice would be greatly appreciated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A Celebration of Waynes&#8217; life will take place on October 5th, 2024, at the Burks&#8217; Falls Legion from 1 to 4 p.m.<\/p>\n\n\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">Don\u2019t miss out on Doppler!<\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Sign up <a href=\"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/dont-miss-out-on-doppler\/\"><u>here<\/u><\/a> to receive our email digest with links to our most recent stories.<br \/>\nLocal news in your inbox so you don&#8217;t miss anything!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a style=\"background: #5cb85c url('https:\/\/d1iczxrky3cnb2.cloudfront.net\/red_logo.png') no-repeat 37px; color: #fff; text-decoration: none; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; display: inline-block; font-size: 16px; padding: 15px 38px; padding-left: 75px; -webkit-border-radius: 2px; -moz-border-radius: 2px; border-radius: 2px; box-shadow: 0 1px 0 0 #1f5a89; text-shadow: 0 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);\" href=\"https:\/\/donorbox.org\/support-huntsville-doppler\">Click here to support local news<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><broadstreet-zone zone-id=\"45657\" keywords=\"\" soft-keywords=\"true\" zone-alias=\"\"><\/broadstreet-zone>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>November 14, 1944-Sept 21, 2024 Left to mourn his passing are his wife Linda, daughter Rebecca, and her daughters Rachel (Alex) and Sarah (Ben).
