Lawrence Wayde. 1945 - 2015. We are heartbroken over the sudden passing of Lawrence Eugene Wayde of Yorkton, SK on Tuesday, November 24, 2015 at the Pasqua Hospital in Regina, SK. He was 70 years of age. Lawrence was born in Canora, SK on May 22, 1945 and was raised on the family farm in Swan Plain, SK. He lived in Calgary, AB for 40 years where he established Midwest Home Improvements in 1985, which he operated until 2008 when he moved back to Yorkton. Lawrence will be remembered as a hard worker all his life, lending a helping hand to whomever needed it. He was devoted to his family, loved his garden and always fed the birds and squirrels.
