WAYNE MORRIS ANDERSON It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Wayne Morris Anderson. A devoted and loving husband, father, Grandfather and friend. Wayne was born October 1st, 1943 to George and Olive Anderson in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan. They resided there until George got out of the service in 1945 and then they moved to a farm in Neville, SK. Most of Wayne’s childhood was spent at the farm, but in 1959 the house burnt down and shortly after the Anderson’s moved to Langenburg. That same year Wayne joined the service and spent three years at Camp Gagetown in New Brunswick. While in the Army he met his first wife carol, and they had Kenny, his first son. Once out of the service with his cook’s papers, he started working as a cook at Saskatchewan Hospital, in North Battleford. From there, he went to the Indian Hospital and worked in the maintenance department. He continued his career at the BUH and at the same time, built and opened the Palisade Restaurant and the Cascade laundromat with his brother Blake. In 1986, Wayne met Sharon. They married on October 2nd, 1987 and were together for 28 years. Not only did Wayne become Sharon’s husband, but also a father to 5 year old Kerry. On July 1st, 1988, Wayne and Sharon had a son named Jon. In the hopes of fresher air and more space, they moved to an acreage west of Battleford in 1999, where he became Dr. Dolittle. Like Dr. Doolittle, Wayne could always be found working alongside his dozens of animals, never failing to love and care for them. Typical activities at the acreage include quad rides, get-togethers with family and friends, and working in the garden. But there was always time to bring out his guitar and play a few Elvis tunes. Wayne never missed an opportunity to gossip with his friends on coffee row, where he loved to talk and visit. To everyone who knew Wayne, he was extremely dependable, always compassionate, funny, cheerful and VERY talkative. He will be sorrowfully missed by us all. Wayne is predeceased by his parents George and Olive and numerous aunts and uncles. He is survived by his wife Sharon; son Kenny (Terry) and their children Taylor, Kelvin, Holly, Lee; son Jon; daughter Kerry and her daughter Madison; brother Gene (Joanne) and their children Paula and Tonya; brother, Blake (Darlene) and their son Sheldon; sister Louise (John) and their daughter, Jennifer, sister Shannon (Chris) children Joshua and Jasmine.
