Wayne worked for the Department of Fisheries offshore patrol, 200 mile limit off Nova Scotia. Later he became a Security Officer at the Lunenburg Fish Plant.

 Enjoying retirement with his best friend/companion, Christine Tanner, they took part in many social events, local entertainment and family/ friend/ community get-togethers during their many years together. After Christine passed in 2022, Wayne continued to celebrate and be celebrated.

 He enjoyed playing crib, bingo, crazy 8s, good food, friends, sports, old country Gospel music and family.
