Keith Brown wrote a sympathy message

“My sincerest condolences to Wayne' family. Indeed it was quite sad on hearing the news of his passing, but I have kept a recorded memory of our "connection" then long ago, when on October 2, 1976, I recorded two chess games played; one with Wayne and one with his young son Derek at their West Hill, Scarborough home. Wayne enjoyed the game of chess and it was a pleasure to have known such a nice person and still be able play over that game and remember him. Keith Brown, Toronto”
