It is with heavy hearts we announce the sudden passing of Wayne on March 27, 2015, at the age of 71 years.

He will be forever loved and remembered by his loving wife of almost 45 years, Myna.

Wayne was born in Drumheller, Alberta, on July 12, 1943.

Wayne worked as a power lineman for Canadian Utilities/Alberta Power for nine years and EPCOR for 30 years. In earlier years he enjoyed boating and flying (got his pilot’s license in 1980). He retired in October 2002. He enjoyed his retirement and loved traveling with his wife. They spent time in Mexico and Costa Rica every winter.

He is survived by his wife Myna, his sister Lynda and Peter Baltgailis; extended family and many friends. 

Wayne was predeceased by his father Delbert, and his mother Rachel. 

He lived large and will be missed by many. He is forever in our hearts.

Following Wayne’s wishes, cremation has taken place and no funeral service will be held.
