Wayne LeVerne Butler, 62 of Green Hill, Pictou County passed away on Wednesday, March 11, 2015 in the Aberdeen Hospital, New Glasgow with his family at his side.

Wayne was a proud and dedicated employee of N.S.G.E.U. for many years, where he passionately shared his beliefs while remaining true to himself. During his time there, and in his previous career as a motion picture projectionist, Wayne impacted his co-workers with his humour, dedication and his desire to “get things done.”, Wayne’s long lasting cherished friendships saw him through his final days. In his private life, Wayne’s diverse interests included backgammon, antique cars and an stellar collection of vinyl. These passions were as unique in character, as the personalities and friends that he shared them with, from British Columbia to Ontario to Nova Scotia. His greatest attribute was his love for his children, Dawnita and Christopher . They represented all of the things that any parent would wish for, as they were his greatest joy. Wayne will be sorely missed by family, friends, co-workers, and acquaintances alike. Cremation has taken place. A family service will be held in Argyle Head at a later date.
