WAYNE RUTKOWSKI

WAYNE J. RUTKOWSKI Sadly, this lovely man lost his battle with cancer, passing peacefully in Comox Hospital on Tuesday, July 3, 2012. Wayne will best be remembered for his quiet demeanour, quirky sense of humour and words of wisdom. His understanding and love of nature showed his gentler side and this he shared with his wife, his six children and six grandchildren. He was proud of his more than 150 donations of blood from which many will have benefitted. He was a roofer for 46 years and retired in 2007 moving to the Comox Valley where he spent many happy hours beachcombing and collecting no end of special rocks'. Wayne we all love you and will miss you greatly, Au revoir.

  • Always a friend when you need him. Ready to give it all when called. A man who carried respect on his shoulders, gone too soon, when life in retirement was delivering its rewards.
