Wayne was extremely proud of his military career, spending 25 years serving as part of the Royal Canadian Engineers. After the military Wayne worked for 15 years as a commissionaire at the Fredericton International Airport. He was fantastic at his job, always had a smile and stats on the previous nights hockey game. Wayne was a huge Montréal Canadiens fan, never missing a game. Playing pool, cards, dice, darts, and watching wrestling were some of his favorite pastimes. Wayne could be seen driving around in his decked out Montréal Canadiens car or in his summer car with the top down and his beloved Dayle by his side.
