WAITE: Patrick Allan Waite. It is with profound sadness and devastation that we mourn the passing of our father Patrick Waite. He died in Virden Hospital on 5 June 2015. His cancer returned to his remaining lung that was pressing on his windpipe making it difficult to breathe. Patrick Allan Waite was born on March 17, 1942 (73), Temagami, ON. He worked as a heavy duty diesel mechanic at INCO in Thompson for 30 years. He retired in 1992, then moved to the town of Oak Lake, MB. He enjoyed carpentry, electrical, plumbing, mechanics, and was most well known for his talent in machining. Many asked his assistance in making something for them, or fine tuning a piece. He also played the guitar, and wrote songs. Patrick is survived by his son Allan and his children, Dallas, April, Brandin, and Patrick’s great-grandson Kaiden. Also survived by his daughter Shelley and son-in-law Keith Ruenholl. He had two sisters and a brother: Doreen (Jones), Edna (Leblanc), Terrance (Mike); all living in Ontario. He was predeceased by his beloved wife Glennys (Mault), grandson Allan Waite Jr. (AJ), his mother Leona (Perry). A memorial service will be held 14 August 2015 at Oak Lake Berean Church in Oak Lake, MB at 7:00 pm with Pastor Matthew Enns officiating. Coffee, and dessert to follow. Patrick’s wishes were for cremation, and so have been fulfilled.
