With heavy hearts we announce the passing of Wayne who left peacefully on November 13, 2025. He will be dearly missed by his wife of 57 years Diane, son Brad (Ashley) and daughter Laura and Rob Bewick and grandsons Ethan, Tyler and Grayson Bewick. Wayne was a loving and supportive husband, father and grandfather. Also survived by his sister Pat Cranston (Berry), Marlene and brother Brian (Marnie), sister’s in-law Annette (John) Dark and Alese Botner.
Wayne was a loving and supportive husband, father and grandfather and a friend to many. He had a strong work ethic, was kind and very resourceful, built our home and maintained and could fix most things. Often, he would share his skill helping friends and family with fix-it problems. He worked over 42 years at Dow as a pipefitter. Wayne enjoyed his job and especially the friendship of co-workers. When Wayne retired, he joined Ironworks Gym and worked out 3 days a week, this was his new job.
Thanks go to Dr. Stoesser, Dr. Lebert, Dr. MacSweeney and many more Doctors, Nurses and health professionals over the years at both BWH and LHSC. Wayne was always grateful for his supportive medical care.
