May 29, 1948 - Jan 19, 2016
It is with great sadness that the family announces the peaceful passing of Wayne Southward on Tues. January 19th, 2016 in Elizabeth Bruyere Hospital following a fight with cancer. Wayne was the 2nd son of the late Gordon and Blanche Southward of Ompah, ON. Wayne was the loving and devoted husband of Barbara for 31 years and the proud father of Tina Miceli (Sean McMurter), Gordon Southward (Shelly), Mike Miceli and Tonya Lalonde. Doting grandfather to 10 grandchildren Paige, Caige, Aaron, Katie, Micheal, Caelen, Tate, Dustin, Alexis and Danielle. Dear brother of Raymond (Marie) of Red Deer, Alberta and Dale Southward (Sharon) of Ompah, ON. Many nieces and nephews in Alberta and London, ON.
After serving 27 years with the Canadian Air Force, Wayne decided to retire in the hamlet of Ompah, ON where he kept himself busy with driving school bus for Dunham Transport for 20+ years, owned and operated Double "S" Sports and Marina for 10+ years, was an active Volunteer Firefighter with North Frontenac Fire Dept. and was involved with the K&P Snow Trails Association grooming trails. If you ever needed a hand for anything, call Wayne and he was there in an instant. He was also known for his pontoon cruises of Palmerston Lake. This kind, gentle man has left many happy memories for a lot of people.
The family would like to express their deepest gratitude to the dedicated staff at Elizabeth Bruyere Hospital for their exceptional care and compassion through this trying time. There will be a memorial service held at a later date in Ompah, ON. Donations can be made to the Ontario Cancer Society and Heart & Stroke Foundation.
