I am honoured to have known Wade. He was a Gentleman, in every sense. He radiated an abundance of kindness and a killer smile. Truly a Prince amongst men. My heartfelt condolences to Bev, you both showed us all how wonderful love is.

Please allow me to express my deepest sympathies to Bev and the families that surrounded Wade Johnston during his wonderful life. I'm sure that Wade was important to his family. He was an important part of my life as well, during our time together at Ontario Agricultural College from 1960 to 1964.
During our first year in the Bachelor of Agricultural Science (BSA) program, Wade lived a few doors down from me in the main residence on campus, so I began to know him there. As it turned out we independently ended up renting rooms off campus in the same residence just off College Avenue about a mile off campus for the remainder of our undergraduate years. There were five single rooms available in the residence. Four of them were occupied by members of OAC '64; Wade, Allan Johnson, Peter Worozbyt and me. We were eventually joined by a grad student as well
I have lots of memories of Wade during our years together. We both had cars, but his VW bug was easily the more dependable of the two. He was frequently our chauffeur to and from class, an occasional shopper when we needed snacks or something cold to assist us watching sports or something else on the single TV available to us, a gate-keeper and a harmonizer when pressures were greatest, usually around final exam time each year. He was most helpful to me when I didn't do too well in 2nd year first term calculus and had to quickly acquire and curate an insect collection prior to transferring to 2nd year 2nd term insect zoology. I remember his intense pride of being from southwestern Ontario. Chatham and Tillsonburg featured in a lot of conversations. He was also justifiably proud of his bug-shaped automobile. It started realiably, even in winter, and was a source of energy to get my quirky British car going, usually when I needed it to go home to Toronto for the weekend. He was a great driver. To this day he remains the only one who could change from first to second gear so quickly that the car didn't get the message. After he had demonstrated this unknown capability, he would triumphantly depress the clutch pedal to give his car the chance to get caught up! BTW, he was equally proud of the Chrevrolet Super Sport that came his way just before graduation in 1964.
After graduation in 1964, Wade's and my path separated. Wade stayed on at the newly approved University of Guelph and mine went out west to pursue a career in the RCAF. But the friendship endured the separation and the years, because we sat together and conversed with each other as though graduation had only happened a few days. It was my pleasure and honour to join Wade (and Allan) at the 50th and 55th reunions of OAC 64 and to finally meet Bev.
So long, Wade. Thanks for your help and for being an important part of my life.

Bev, this is Dahir Mohamed (in Toronto) and I want you to know how I am extremely saddened by the news of Wade's passing. I have met you and Wade in Kemptville, Nova Scotia in the fall of 1993 while I was new to Canada. From that day on you have been the two closest persons to my heart which makes this news very difficult to hear. Wade was an amazing human being, a very gentle and kind. I will always remember him (and the chatting we use to have) driving me from wolfville to Kempville when you use to have me over for meal on holidays get to gather.
I look forward to talking to you soon,
Dahir Mohamed
