A terminal lung cancer diagnosis leads Calgary auctioneer, Wayne Ollive, to take bids on his own company.

“He’s a great guy. Anytime we’ve had anything to be done in Chinatown for the street festivals he’s been very accommodating,” Wong said on Sunday.

Jolene Brewster is the founder of the Banff Christmas market. She calls Ollive very friendly and kind and said he was always willing to drop everything to help with complicated events that had limited power and water. “Wayne always helped navigate things and handled it perfectly and we became friends over the years. His work and life seamlessly interconnected,” Brewster said.“I’m very fortunate to have some very good friends and family and a lot of customers whether it be from Radar’s Rentals or the auction company. They’re just amazing. All of a sudden, I’m finding out all kinds of stories of other people who have had cancer, which I did not know and lots of survivors,” Ollive said.

Since the pandemic many live auctions have moved online and that will be the case with all the equipment at Radar’s Rentals but Ollive plans to still dabble in the old art of auctioneering. “I really enjoy it and you get to meet so many great people. I think it would be very good exercise for my lungs is my thinking,” Ollive said.Related News
