Obituary of Wayne Lemuel Creaser

Wayne Lemuel Creaser 66, of Maplewood, lost his 2 year battle with cancer on April 26, 2010. Born in Rose Bay, Nova Scotia, he was the son of the late James Irving and Minerva Catherine (Mossman) Creaser. Wayne attended Centre High School and graduated from the Canadian Institute of Management at Saint Mary’s University. He was employed with L.E. Shaw Ltd., and for over 25 years with the Bank of Montreal before retirement. Wayne’s love of music started early, with his singing in choirs during childhood, with church and community choirs in his later years, and most recently with the Emmanuel Baptist Church Choir of Parkdale/ Maplewood and the New Germany Men’s Choir. Loved by his friends and family, Wayne was generous with his time and his humour, combining his loves of technology and community to help others with technical challenges when needed. It was not unusual for him to visit a friend to assist in resolving a computer problem, or talk for hours on the phone to help them through a technical issue. His home, the quiet peace of the lake, music, and his friends and family were Wayne’s joys, and he will be dearly missed. He is survived by his wife Shirley Anne (Thompson), daughters Catherine Lillian and Angela Elizabeth, both from Halifax, and his brothers Walter and Vernon, and their families. There will be no visitation. A memorial service will be at 11 a.m. Thursday in the Emmanuel Baptist Church of Parkdale/ Maplewood. Rev. Jennifer Joudrey officiating. A reception at the Parkdale/ Maplewood Community Hall will follow the service. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Emmanuel Baptist Church or charity of your choice.
