Please extend my condolences to the family of Wayne. I haven't seen him since we served together on the Kootenay but I recognized him immediately from the photo of him in uniform. The Kootenay family will remember him. We are as one! John Webster

I served with Wayne on HMCS Kootenay and we lived in the same messdeck. I am so sorry to hear of his passing and I am very glad that we were able to reconnect when he came to Halifax a few years ago. Fair winds and following seas, Wayne.

To the family of Wayne and Carol, please accept my sincere condolences for your loss. I knew Wayne through our connection with Kootenay. He and my dad were shipmates in 1969. May he rest in peace and may you find comfort knowing he will not be forgotten by the Kootenays.

I would like to extend my deepest sympathies to Carol and the entire Gammie family for their loss. Wayne was a proud veteran on the Royal Canadian Navy and member of the Royal Canadian Legion. I had the honour of carrying flags with him during the opening ceremonies of the Fergus Highland Games and most recently, attending the Elora Remembrance Day Observance and Dinner on 11 Nov 2014. I will miss his friendly jabs about the Army and his warm welcoming handshake. "Fair winds and following seas" my friend. You will be missed.

As a friend, a mess mate and as a person I remember Wayne was an integral part of Kootenay's Engineering crew. After the accident on 23 October our paths never crossed again and we had only met again all these years later during the Kootenay reunions where we certainly had many items in common to talk about. Wayne will be missed by all his ship mates especially those from Kootenay's 11 mess. Good bye old friend. "WE ARE AS ONE"
