Obituary of Wayne Charles Brocklebank

With great sadness we announce the death of Wayne Charles Brocklebank, who passed away in the early morning of Saturday the 22nd of February after a spending a month in hospital battling an infection. Wayne had his 70th birthday on January 12th this year, and then, as he said, “things basically fell apart after that”. He retained his sense of humour until the very end.In 1971, Wayne had a motorcycle accident which took away one of his legs but none of his independence. After 11 months in hospital, he spent the rest of his 49 years determined to live absolutely normally, refusing to be defined by his wheelchair. His courage (and humour) in the face of adversity was an inspiration to everyone that knew him. He will be sorely missed.Wayne Brocklebank was born January 12, 1950 in Toronto, to Helen { Karry } and Audry Henry Brocklebank.
