Dear Tracy, Paula and Bret,

We were so very sorry to hear about the passing of Wayne/Mr. Dunham. As others have expressed below, he was my grade 6 teacher and I, too, have very fond memories of his kind nature and warm smile. To this day, every single time I brutalize a capital "S", in what would be my new version of cursive writing, I wonder what Mr. Dunham would say. Your father was a very kind man and I/we are so very sorry for your loss. May your memories be cherished and bring you comfort in the days ahead.

Dear Tracy, Paula and Bret,

Your dad was both my teacher and your entire family were longtime family friends so it is no wonder I have lots of memories you are all a part of. I especially remember grade 6 and I loved having your dad as a teacher. From cursive writing, to folk dancing in the gym and later his help with the musical productions we were part of, Mr Dunham taught us so much more than just reading and math. I read Pat's memories and I too remember basement pole dancing, boat rides and picnics at Asessippi and trying our best to stay out of sight so our parents wouldn't remember we were there and decide it was time to go home. I'm thankful for the recent visit with your dad and his laugh and distinction will be cherished memories. Sending you all our love and hugs.

Wayne was a special person. He was one of a very few people whom I trusted completely.He was very professional throughout his career as an educator and always stood with me for what was right in spite of the actions of others It was an honour to work with him.

Wven more so it was an honour to be consider his friend and someone he felt he could confide in in difficult times.

I know he is at peace and it is those who remain that are the ones to ones who suffer. Thinking of you, Tracy, Paula, Bret, and Carlos. My memories of Wayne will be my treasure.

ps my apologies for a little "glitch" in writing this.

Somewhere in Heaven, Wayne is enjoying a glass of wine while munching popcorn. A true gentleman in every sense of the word, he will be missed by many. Thinking of you at this difficult time, Tracy, Paula, Bret and Carlo.

I've known Wayne as far back as I can remember. As a kid I was shy around him (not sure why). He was the only one who visited my when I was in the hospital at age 7 having my tonsils removed. He brought colouring books and such to cheer me up. When I was 10 he taught me how to play Chopsticks and Heart and Soul on the piano. When I was older I was not as shyaround him. He was fun at family gatherings and parties. Loved ho hear him laugh. I will miss him.

Love, Kim

Dear Tracy, Paula and Bret,

Your Dad was an integral part of my youth. He was my sixth grade teacher, he taught me how to write cursive appropriately and made it fun!

Your entire family has a place in my heart. I remember begging my parents to go to the Dunham's after church. so that we could take the cushions off the couch and race down the stairs as fast as we could and then do as many twirls on the cement pole! Good thing none of us grew up to be pole dancers! As we would have likely been good at it 😳

I am truly sorry for the loss of your dad ( Mr. Dunham growing up and then later Wayne to me) he will be missed.

Love Pat ❤️
