RIP Wayne Jackson
Another friend and colleague passes away
Hi All,
Please forgive me if you get this multiple times but Wayne has an extremely large address book, so I’m using his distribution lists and you might be in more than 1.
F.Y.I. Wayne came down with ‘a cold’ just before Christmas. It seemed to be dragging on too long, so went to the doctor. Well tests, more doctors, more tests, I was looking after him at home, his mental & physical skills were diminishing. There’s talk of cancer but no clear markers, he’s not showing normal signs (eg. Weight loss, etc.). Was waiting on an appointment at the Juravanski Cancer Hospital in Hamilton. On March 11th, I was no long able to care for him at home, so got an ambulance to the Norfolk General Hospital in Simcoe. He was moved to 4th floor palliative care on March 26th, and he passed on the 28th.
The doctors had come to the conclusion that Wayne had cancer of the liver & pancreas and that in his travels he picked up something that put a twist on the cancer. They say his mental deterioration would be caused my his healthy(?) drinking and/or with the liver not functioning properly the toxins would be screwing with his brain.
Wayne will be cremated! At this time there are no plans for a Celebration of Life.
Regards,
Elaine Hales

I am going to miss Wayne. He has been an immense....truly immense help to me over the years.
