Dad received word yesterday afternoon that his younger brother, Wayne, has passed away. We mourn our loss but honor and celebrate a life lived well and to the full.
Wayne was born on 22 March 1936 at home on the Buller farm south of Lushton. From these humble circumstances Wayne grew to be a record-setting track star (see here), a successful business person, and a much-loved family man. Wayne’s obituary (here) contains the details of his interesting and productive life.
A number of years back Wayne produced annual calendars that listed every family member’s birthday and anniversary. He also included family photos as he was able. The photo below appeared in the 2004 calendar. Wayne captioned it “Three Old Geezers on the Ranch Porch,” referring to himself, Dad, and Daniel. A happier day indeed.
