We have just found out about Wayne’s sad passing.  Wayne used to come and service our tap from 1998.  He was such a friendly guy.  When he arrived at our house, he used to say what new tech have you got Mark? As we both loved our tech.  So we quickly found common ground.  It was a sad day for me when he announced that he wouldn’t be attending services anymore, as he accepted another position within the company.  However, hearing of his passing is totally devastating.   Our thoughts are with his family and friends.   Rest in peace Wayne, a true gentleman, who will be sadly missed.  Hope you have all the tech you can handle.   Mark and Mayte….

My heartfelt condolences to Wayne’s family and friends during this difficult time. Wayne was not only a great colleague but also a true friend to many. His presence will be deeply missed, and his memory will be cherished by all who knew him. May he rest in peace….

I am truly sorry to hear of the passing of Wayne whom I have known for 8 years at Zip. Wayne has helped me on many installs and had a wealth of knowledge on all our products, nothing was too much trouble. Sending love and strength to Wayne’s family at this difficult time. Rest in eternal peace Wayne  …

Dear Bev and family, I am so so sorry to hear of Wayne’s passing. I left the employment of Zip soon after Wayne joined and only returned to Zip last year – during which time I found myself spending time with Wayne at each Zip get-together. I guess we’re drawn together because of his/my Rotherham link and I will remember Wayne with great fondness, so easy to talk to – he and I would always have something to chat about and I can only try imagine how much he will be dearly missed by his close friends and family. My very best wishes to you all at this most terrible time x…

I’m deeply saddened by the passing of Wayne, he was kind, funny and dedicated, the loss is felt deeply by us all. My heart goes out to you and your family during this difficult time. May we meet again someday for another beer! With sympathy,  Simon…

I have had the pleasure of knowing and working alongside Wayne for almost 14 years in various roles (for both of us) in our time with Zip. Having spoken to many colleagues since Wayne’s sad passing it is clear that he left a mark on a lot of people throughout the business both past and present and I’m sure some of his put downs and comments will continue to be jokingly said by his colleagues for a long time to come. Having spoken to his wife Bev on several occassions since, it is clear that Wayne was not only a friend and colleague to all at Zip but also a loving husband and father to his 2 daughters (plus his 2 four legged friends). A sad loss to everyone who got to know him, I hope you are now at peace my friend x….

I would like to offer You and Your family My deepest and most sincere condolences. May the soul of Wayne rest in peace….

Totally lost for words…. What a Top Guy and absolute pleasure to work with! You will be truly missed..I hope you have found your Peace. My deepest condolences to your family x…

Wayne was such a special person.  As we’ve talked about Wayne and shared stories of him over these last few weeks, it’s become obvious that everyone who met Wayne, kept a lasting impression of him as someone who cared about his colleagues, was never too busy to listen and was always willing to lend a helping hand.  I really valued his support and knew that he always wanted to do the right thing, even when it wasn’t the easiest. I will always remember his epic press ups at last year’s seasonal celebration!  His memory will stay with us for many years to come and my heartfelt condolences go out to his family and friends at this most difficult of times….

My Throughts and Prayers are with Wayne and his family at this difficult time. …

I am so very sorry to hear of Waynes passing, sending you strength and support during this challenging time. My deepest condolences…

My deepest condolences for the loss of your loved one. May his memory bring you comfort….

My very heartfelt condolences to Wayne and his family. I’ve had many dealings with Wayne over the years and always found him to be helpful and willing to go above and beyond. He will be sorely missed….

Wayne was an incredibly kind man who was always happy to share whatever knowledge he had. He had a great sense of humour, didn’t mince his words and he called a spade a spade – If something wasn’t right he’d tell you and take the time to help you figure out how to fix it. I feel incredibly privalaged to have known, worked with and learned from him and my thought’s are with his family at this very sad time. …
