Wayne Braun Former Ayr resident


Wayne Braun, who spent the past two years helping redesign the look of the Toronto Star newspaper, collapsed and died of a heart attack at his home in Scarborough on Friday, November 12, 1993. He was 47. Born in Kitchener, he was a son of Jacob and Evelyn Braun. Mr. Braun graduated from Kitchener Collegiate Institute and after studying at University of Waterloo, joined the Kitchener-Waterloo Record as a reporter in 1967. He was a copy editor when he left, in 1975, to join the Edmonton Journal as sports editor. He returned to the Record in 1976 as sports editor and was the newspaper's assistant city editor when he joined The Star as assistant national editor in 1980. At The Star, Mr. Braun took on a wide range of assignments. As assistant Sunday editor, he played a key role in shepherding The Sunday Star along the road to maturity. "He's the editor we call on when the news desk needs help," observed Ray Timson, the then managing editor, in 1985. Later, as Insight editor, he "brought coherence, good sense and editing skill," in the words of an admiring supervisor, Geoff Chapman, then deputy managing editor in charge of features. After a period as assistant city editor supervising the newspaper's beat, or specialist reporters, Mr. Braun transferred back to one of his first loves, the sports desk. But he wasn't to be there for long. When The Star's redesign team was formed, he quickly got the nod as one of the key players. Mr. Braun and his wife Linda resided in Ayr from the early 1970's until 1985, except for the brief period of time they spent in Edmonton. For several years he helped Lorne Pfeiffer coach a juvenile hockey team in Ayr. He was also an avid angler. Besides his parents and wife, he leaves a daughter, Marcie, 18, and a son, Darren, 17, brothers Randy of Waterloo, Greg of Milton, Marty of Kitchener, sister Jeanette Marshall of Norwood and nine nieces and nephews. Predeceased by a son Wayne Jr. in infancy. Resting at the Edward R. Good Funeral Home, Waterloo, where funeral service will be held today (Wed.) at 1: 00 p.m. Committal service and interment to follow at Ayr Cemetery with reception at the Ayr Community Centre.
