Saul E. SHULLER

Last Saturday, September 17, (one day before the 11th anniversary of Saul Shuller's passing), I had the privilege of being at an event of about 100 people and was seated at a table with Barbara Hahn, Saul's daughter, and her husband Dr. Jack Hahn. I was given the opportunity to say a few words, so I spoke of the wonderful human experience of friendship, and the importance of having a friend that understands other human beings. My words, to a great degree, were inspired by the late Saul...

I met Saul Shuller when he was 90. His daughter, Barbara Hahn introduced me to him at a Doctor's office. Her introduction was simply: "Dad, I want you to meet a friend of mine." Her dad's reply was simply: "You are a friend of mine until you prove otherwise." Those ten words stuck with me ever since, over 15 years. It enabled me to realize what a remarkable human being he was and what an incredibly full life he must have lived. Think how often we meet new people and in only ten words...

To the family of Mr. Saul Shuller, I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I worked at Shuller's for 4 years, all through high school and 1 year beyond.May God bless you all. I pray all is well with Mr. Leo Shuller.

Former bus girl 1968-1971, It was a fun place to work as a High School student.

My family sent me Mr. Shuller's obituary - I was sorry to hear of his death. The Wigwam was my family's favorite restaurant. My High School graduation party was held there, as well as many other special events with family and friends. I always had a meal there when I returned to the city. My sympathy to the family on the loss of your loved one.

My mother was a waitress at Shullers during the Ted Klluski days. I had my first steak there for my 13 birthday. Great place and people.

Dear Mel & Family,
So sorry for your loss. "Uncle" Saul was such a sweet man. He was such a comfort to Sid at the end of his days. I have so many wonderful memories of The Wigwam including my wedding and the story Sid liked to tell about his Friedman nephews being bribed with steak to leave the buffet line. My thoughts are with you all.

My mom was so upset when she heard (after the fact) that Saul had died. Sid and he were so close and Saul was so good to my dad during his own illness. I laughed out loud when I read about his not having to sit through another Bengals game as I know Sid would be thinking the same thing. One small comfort....Sid will finally have someone equally fanatical about sports to kibbitz and watch games with.

Dear Mel and Family,
So sorry to hear of your fathers passing. He sounds like he was a real character. You all will remember him fondly. A smile will light up your face each time you say his name. He's telling stories to all those who will listen in heaven, Lou is probably one of them, he always enjoyed a good story teller.
