Bad Apple Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Reposting for our First Officer Bill Pope I have some very sad news to share. There is no more profound moment as First Officer than when you get a call from a member telling you that one of our CMC family has died tragically in a motorcycle accident. I regret to tell you that Wayne Villeneuve died yesterday while riding his motorcycle in Oklahoma, just days into a month long riding adventure with his friend Johnny. Wayne was a new member and partner of our 6th Officer, Debbie Abfalter. I am shocked and saddened by this news and know that you will all join me in expressing our sincere condolences to Wayne's family and to Debbie for their loss. We will post more details as they become available. Bill Pope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Irma Posted March 3, 2016 Administrators Share Posted March 3, 2016 Our deepest sympathies to Debbie and all of Wayne's family and friends. Membership #11185 has been retired in Wayne's honour. -Irma http://ottawacitizen.com/news/local-news/ottawa-paramedic-dispatcher-killed-in-u-s-motorcycle-crash Ottawa paramedics are mourning the loss of one of their own after long-serving dispatcher Wayne Villeneuve died Wednesday. Villeneuve, 51, an avid motorcyclist, was on a month-long motorcycle trek across the southern United States. He had mapped out his route on his Facebook page, and gave frequent updates from the road. According to his travel log, his journey began in Knoxville, Tennessee, on Feb. 26 and he planned to ride west along the legendary Route 66 , nicknamed the Main Street of America , to California, before looping back east toward New Orleans. The road trip was to have spanned 10,000 km, according to his postings. His final dispatch came Wednesday at 12:20 p.m., apparently from Arkansas. According to paramedic colleagues, Villeneuve, an experienced biker, lost control of his motorcycle while manoeuvring around a vehicle that had stopped in front of him. The Ottawa Paramedic Service posted a memorial on its own Facebook page, dedicated “to a much loved and highly respected member of the team, following decades of the highest levels of camaraderie, public service and trust as an Acting Superintendent and Ambulance Communications Officer.” Villeneuve had worked at the dispatch centre since 1986. Dozens of people shared their own condolences and remembrances on the memorial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
