    I bought my second car from Tuck, 1967 Mustang GT way back when I was 18 or 19. Tuck was an original, a good heart and a good soul. I have many fond memories of him and am sorry I lost touch. My heart goes out to Dawn and the family.

    Dear Dawn, Bill, Jen and family

    I am so sorry to hear of the loss of Wayne. He was a genuine good guy. I remember he would always help you out and just say there is no charge I just tightened a loose plug or how he would fit you in. He was a good man. When I would come home, I always had a little smile when I passed your garage knowing what a great place it is. Wayne will truly be missed by so many people. So sorry.
    Katie

    I remember the last time I saw you guys. It was at Bud’s Celebration of Life in London . That was March 17th, 2018. Where do the year’s go? Over the years I’m sure that Bud and Wayne had lots of car discussions. It’s always nice when people can work at a profession they love and are good at. Wishing you and yours a nice safe Christmas although it will be sad. We always have our memories. Hoping that 2021 will be kinder to us all. Sincerely, Carol and Lou Lahey

    My sincere condolences on the loss of your Wayne. Just short days before he passed, Wayne helped me with a tire problem on my car. “No charge” he said when I asked how much I needed to pay.

    To all of Waynes family. Gone much too soon. I have fond memories of Wayne going back to when he was just a kid. As their apartment backed on to our dealership, Wayne slipped in the alleyway door all the time, bugging the mechanics or whatever. Most likely what started him to get into that trade. About once a month he would drop into my shop on MacEwan Street and we would have a nice visit while he looked over what was new. He will be missed by many. He was a kind, gentle man.
