Orlin Elmer Schuler Jr.

It wasn't until I faced with my own mortality (battling cancer) that I reflected back to the people that were instrumental in making me the person I am today. As a student at Encina high school in the early to mid seventies I was in his class every year. The last couple of years it was as a teachers assistant and president of the auto club. I have fond memories of the Wednesday night high school drags at Sacramento Raceway and the trophies he won in his beautiful GTO. Also the many...

Mr. Schuler was an incredible teacher. I've lived out of the area and just learned of his passing. He influenced many and he with Mr. Ash were a lot of fun! May God watch over him and his family always!

Mr. Schuler's class was the start of my career in Mechanics. Thank you Mr. Schuler for your guidance.

I taught with Brownie at Encina - he was truly a great teacher. Memories flood back here - Capones, Old Grey, the world's weirdest pontoon boat with a Chevy 327, Ladoga, Reno Fun Train,frogging, Helen's, the Dixie Jubilee, Forest Hill cemetary,he and Carlin's visit to Milwaukee to see me, etc. His life was an adventure and he lived it fully. He's up there enjoying his "Last Hoo Rah" - (they better watch it - it won't be the same with Orlin there) John Knurr - Milwaukee
