He was the beloved husband of Esther, to whom he was married for 71 years, and father of Ken (Betty), Pat (Brahim) and the late Bev (Scott). He was also the proud grandfather of Amal, Michael, Becky, Leila, Miriam and the great-grandfather of Parker, Riley, Djibril and Cooper. A memorial service will be held at the Finn Camp on Saturday, April 2, at 1:00 p.m.
Wayne had a camp on the west side prior to owning a cottage home on Fairfield. An active Finn Camp member most of his adult life, Wayne served on the board of directors, first elected in 1943, and was also active for many years on the Future Planning Committee. Among other involvements, he helped plan and build the memorial fence that runs alongside Lyonia. Prior to his retirement Wayne was a custom home builder under whose direction several homes were built in both the Finn Camp subdivision and the Hickory Hill area. Also, once Wayne moved to Wixom, he was involved with the Wixom Goodfellows for many years.
