Wayne was predeceased by his brother Clifford and one Grandson David.

Wayne had an amazing life, born in Rockglen Saskatchewan and grew up in Kincaid, where he started his work life as a Mercantile Man shortly after getting married <3.  The next career move was to Moose Jaw to become a Surveyor.  Finally, Wayne found his true work calling in flooring, starting in Regina at Craklin Carpet where he became a wholesale representative for Kennidy’s.  This set him up for his move to Lethbridge to become the Head Sales Manager at Revelstoke.  In 1993, Wayne and family, moved to Medicine Hat, to assist two of his sons, Jerry and Kevin, to establish Creative Floor Coverings.  In 2000, Wayne retired and returned to Lethbridge.  Wayne then was instrumental in assisting two more sons, Trevor and Mickey, to establish their own flooring business, McNamara Carpet Gallery, which they later sold but then opened Flooring Superstore 5 years later.

Wayne has created a great legacy in the Family Flooring Business, which included all. They each had their own niche from Mom (Jean) gluing down carpet, the four boys (Jerry, Mickey, Kevin and Trevor) owning their businesses, Pam and Daylene assisting with installs.  Wayne was immensely proud of this legacy he unknowingly was creating and continues as there are already four grandchildren in the flooring business, which Wayne has encouraged them to do and they are all very successful.

Wayne didn’t take retirement laying down.  He had so many passions but making people happy had to top the list.  He spent hours perfecting his homemade bread, which he would use for horse trading for goods at the Farmers Market and for getting favors/chores done at home ��
