Brian, Joan and Family, We are very sorry to hear of your loss. Please accept our sincere condolences at this difficult time.

~ Chris and Laurie Battersby

I had the pleasure of working with Wayne back early in my career at Famme & Co. Wayne was a great guy to work with and was not your typical accountant. He had the ability to break free from the accountant mindset and view things in more practical terms, which enabled him to offer great value to his clients. Wayne was one of the guys who encouraged me to break out of the accountant mould and go back to complete my MBA even though I was not done all of my CA exams. Wayne always seemed to enjoy talking sports and about his family. He will be deeply missed.

~ Phil Parkinson

My condolences to the Skryptnick family and his brother Brian. I played a few games of hockey back in our high school glory days with Wayne. He was a fine hockey player and a solid athlete. . My thoughts and prayers are with his family and brother Brian. Sincerely Freddie Ashkanase

Wayne was a very good friend of mine going back to grade three at Notre Dame Separate School, where we first teamed up collecting bottles and coat hangers for Bunny Bundle, through high school at Oakridge, and the many years since. Wayne had a great sense of humour, and was a hard worker - he excelled in many things he put his mind to. He was also charming, and had a mischievous side to him. I was shocked and saddened to hear of his sudden departure. He was a unique individual, and touched many. My condolences to Peter, Brian, Justin, Denny and the rest of his family and close friends. I'll miss you, Buddy.

~ Derek Hope, Calgary

Know Wayne from Tobermory - he will be so much missed Bob Wade

~ Bob wade

My condolences to the entire Skrypnyk family. Through High School he excelled at sports and whatever he put his mind to and that remained true in his business life as well. While I only saw him occasionally the last few years over the past few days I have seen a number of people we have in common and the conversation focused on what a great person Wayne was - his humour, his willingness to help out or provide advice. Etc. He is gone way too soon but Wayne was a Class act all the way.

~ Paul Spriet

A person that departs from this earth never truly leaves, for they are still alive in our hearts and minds, through us, they live on. Please accept our deepest condolences.

~ Andrew & Stacey Lozier

My condolences to the skrypnyks for their loss. Justin - sounds like your father was a great man.

~ Martin Dlouhy

We were very saddened to hear about Wayne's passing. We would have liked to have been there but unfortunately are out of the country. Wayne was a wonderful and generous person and will be dearly missed. We have great memories of Wayne with John Jr. and Hockey Development for Oakridge Hockey. We will always be thankful for the John Ford Jr. scholarship initiated by Wayne and the boys. Deepest sympathies to the Skrypnyk family and the Skrypnyk Group. John & Connie and family

~ Connie & John Ford

Wayne was a close friend of my brother Derek. We were reminiscing about our golf games at Thames Valley. I was partnered with Derek and Wayne with Craig Wood-a coparatively low handicapper.. Played for 50 cents or a dollar on the last hole and Wayne/Craig team won handily. So Derek and I challenged them to double or nothing on a putting contest and kept doubling down as their "winddfall" seemed inevitable. Craig wanted to cash out and go..Wayne was havin fun as oir balance sheet was declining..It wasn't until it was totallly dark that we finally won and went home....and we talked about it for decades..It wasn't til this past week that I found out that a farming friend north of London was a long time customer of Wayne and my son's girlfriend had a work term at Wayne's firm. Sincere regards to Brian, Peter , family and friends Mike+Theresa Hope

~ Mike Hope Oakville

I was shocked and saddened to hear of Wayne's passing away. I did not see or talk to Wayne since my high school days at Oakridge. During junior football practices I knew better then to attempt tackling Wayne head-on when he was running with the ball, he was too fast and strong and I did not want to get injured! Wayne was an excellent athlete and student who easily got good grades in school without having to study hard. I also remember his spontaneous sense of humour, he was also telling jokes. No matter what the situation was, Wayne could find a comical side to it. I want to express my condolences to Wayne's family and his brothers Peter and Brian.

~ David Maltby

My deepest condolence to Wayne's Family and his brother Brian. Wayne was an excellent athlete at Oakridge HS. He played High School Hockey in Grade 9 on a team that was loaded with older players that went to the All Ontario Championship. Later in life, I would see him running in Springbank Park. He was always a positive upbeat guy. To the say the least I was very surprised on hearing about Wayne's passing at such a young age. Blessings to the Family.

~ David Yeo

Brian & Peter I was very sad to read about Wayne's passing. It has been quite few years since I saw Wayne but I remember that he was probably one of the best skaters that I have ever seen and a real fine young man. I extend to you [ Brian and Peter and your families] my deepest sympathy. Ron Hill

~ Ron Hill

Our condolences to the family on Wayne's passing. We will remember Wayne as the true professional in his occupation.

~ Jenn Thibert

I am really sad to hear about Wayne's passing. I have lots of great memories from all of us chumming around in high school. I'll never forget that ever-present giggle or the twinkle in his eye. He was a great friend. It is clear from reading the comments above that Wayne carried all those positive qualities about himself throughout his life. My deepest condolences to Brian and all the Skrypnyk family.

~ Grant Smith

Bill and Donalda Salter and our sons Mike, Greg and Steve send our most sincere sympathies to all the Skrypnyk family on the sudden death of Wayne.

~ John Jeanette Nick & James Mollica

I knew Wayne, and Brian, through my friendship with Peter. All three of the Skrypnyk boys were good people, though Peter had his wild side. I'm sure he will tell you all about it! Wayne was the strong silent type. Built like a fire plug, and strong, he was anything but inside. Thoughtful, caring and quick to help others when asked. I got to coach hockey with Peter and Brian, but never got the chance to do so with Wayne. My Loss. All three of the Skrypnyk boys will be with me until my reckoning. And I'm a better person for it. Thank you.
