Wayne and Lynn were so kind to me as a child. Wayne is my Mother's Cousin Lynn, husband. When I was very young I was sure Wayne would someday be my husband lol :). I geuss he was my first crush. Wayne was always happy to see you and we could catch up in no time at all. My father Chuck and Wayne were also good friends and both were such kind men. Thank you Wayne and Lynn for the childhood memories I have that made me feel special and cared for. Wayne will always be fondly remembered. - Posted by: Susan Fidler Elson (My mother's cousins husband) on: Jun 25, 2026

Mr Waterman was my sister (Val) and my favourite teacher at Wolseley School in the 70’s and many years later I happened to see him walking in the west end and approached him introducing myself. He said my family name which totally floored me for I was only 11 yrs old and this 30 plus yrs later…an awesome man who left a very favourable impression on my family….RIP…Rody family. - Posted by: Vince Rody (Former student) on: Jun 21, 2026
