Wayne Laplante

Wayne was the best mechanic I could ask for. he always looked out for me, he was kind, and I really enjoyed seeing him when I'd go in with my car or to pick up my parents cars, etc. He always made me feel safe and he was great. I will never forget him laughing at me when I thought my altenator had broken but I'd actually ran out of gas. And him helping me fix my dad's car when I broke the little lock knob on the back door and thought my dad would kill me, Wayne took me to the scrap yard to fix it for 25cents! Brigitte, you and your family are in my thoughts. Lots of love and positive thoughts.

Passing on our condolences and prayers to the Laplante family on Wayne's passing. He was a good and honest businessman and we trusted his judgement and appreciated his and the WB teams work and service with our vehicles. He will be missed by many.

We were so sorry to hear about Wayne and wish to pass on our sincerest condolences to Brigette and the entire Laplante family. He was always the kindest soul and gave my dad Raymond a place to go that he loved dearly. We will always be grateful for W&B for that kindness with my parents and we wish Brigette comfort and peace during this difficult time.

To Lady Brigitte and the Family of Sir Knight Wayne Laplante, PGK As Master of the 4th Degree Knights of Columbus, Alberta South District, Sandra and I wish to extend my most sincere condolences to you and the family of Sir Knight Wayne. He was a good friend, a very dedicated Knight of Columbus, an active member of Airdrie Council 8045 and SK John G. Timmermans Assembly 2632 and he will be greatly missed. It is sad to realize that death has cut short another life, the life of one of our respected and cherished members, a Sir Knight. It is indeed sad to realize that the ties of friendship and fraternal affection which bound him to our Order have been severed. In our sadness we are consoled by the thought that he, whom we knew and loved, is forever at rest. His labors are finished and a good and faithful servant has been called to meet his Maker. Our hearts go out in deepest sympathy to those who remain to mourn. Their loss is a heavy one, their bereavement great, but we ask Almighty God in His Goodness and Kindness, to console them. For those who knew Sir Knight Wayne, “We loved him in life; Let us not forget him in death”. May he now rest in peace.

Brigette, Dan & families: I am so saddened by the loss of Wayne. I am still in shock over his sudden passing. He was the most honest man I have met and always went out of his way to assist me with any car trouble I had. Being a woman, that meant a lot. I was coming to see hi again last week when I read of his passing. The community of Airdrie has lost one of the best businessman . My heart goes out to you all. Brigette ..if you ever need a shoulder, please give me a call or just drop over. My deepest sympathies Donelda Johnson

I met Wayne for the first time about a month ago. He was so helpful that I knew I wanted to be among one of his customers. I told my wife about my awesome experience at the garage. She was the one who spotted the announcement of Wayne's passing tonight. We are very sorry that we don't get an opportunity to get to know him better. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family as they remember him at this time.

Brigette and Family & W&B Family.We have so many fond memories. From all the car help he gladly provided to each of the Titus' over the years to the fun golf trips and the superbness of his cooking whether it be the "big" breakfast or the best bbq roast EVER! His leaving leaves a huge hole not only in your family but in ours and the entire Airdrie Community. He will be missed.

So sorry for your loss I got to know Wayne through the Automotive shop he ran in Airdrie for repairs he had done on my vehicle. Great Man and very genuine and helpful. Just in disbelief of his passing.

Moving to Airdrie in 1995 it was a real pleasure to find W&B Automotive a business where honesty and integrity was the rule. As time passed by and our family got to know Wayne and his family. We were proud to call both him and his family friends. It is always hard to lose someone of his calibre and we will miss him. Our condolences go out to Brigitte and the family. Dave, Del, Derrick and Shaun Ferry

I would like to send my condolences to the Laplante family. I remember when I was 16 and had my first car. The motor failed on the car and I had no money to repair it and could not afford a new car. So when I brought my car to Wayne's and he told me the bad news I was crushed!! Knowing I was a young man with no car and was now really upset Wayne told me he had found a new motor for my car, when I said I could not afford to pay for a new motor and labour to install it he said "you are on Christmas holidays next week you can install it here at my shop. " I was in awe!!! So I started on the Monday and finished by the Friday. From that day on I knew I wanted to become a mechanic, I have been one now for 18 years and still loving it!! Thanks Wayne!! You will truly be a missed man!!!

To the Laplante family......my heart hurts with yours at the loss of a wonderful, kind man. Guess God needed a gentle, gentleman to help Him in heaven.

Prayers and hugs from our family to yours.

We are so sorry to hear about Wayne. Our thoughts and prayers are with you Brigitte and your whole family. He will I am sure be missed by all that knew and loved him.
