Wayne H. Pressler

Dr. Pressler was my dentist from the time I was a little girl. He was extraordinary in his gentleness and infectious smile. After many decades, I realize even more what a blessing he was. I feel sad for the children who will never know the magic of this stellar dentist and even more stellar human being. He made the world a better place and I can't think of any higher compliment. Thank you so much for your great service to humanity :)

Three years and I miss my buddy. Remembering his laugh

Wayne's passing was such a shock to me. He was a dear friend. For years, he and I served on the Joint Associations Personnel Committee of the UCC. His comments were always quite thoughtful and penetrating. He enjoyed humor and irony all the time.

My condolences to the entire Pressler family. He was my dentist since I was a little girl and have good memories. I also have seen him at many EOA meetings. He always had a smile.

My wife and I feel a personal loss in Wayne's passing. Our love and sympathies go out to the entire family. Wayne was a classmate, teammate, OSU Freshman roommate, our family dentist for 52 years and lifetime friend. He was a great servant to people in so many ways. He is now in the Palm of God's Hand.

Let me start with a full-throated "amen" to the condolence messages preceding this. Wayne was a true Champion of the Underdog. A most caring, compassionate and benelovent human being. I was privileged and honored to have him as a close personal friend and golf buddy for the last 60 years.
May he rest in peace as there is no question as to where he now resides.

I met Dr. Pressler when he served as the EOA representative at my wife Debbie's installation as pastor of Fairlawn-West UCC in 2014. He very kindly told me about how my late father who was an oral surgeon had been a great help to him when he was a young dentist just starting out. I'm sorry I didn't know him better. Condolences to the family -

Wayne was a man with a quick wit and a kind heart. He would serve the indigent patients at Akron Community Health Resources with compassion and the utmost professionalism.
All the staff looked forward to the days when he would be "on duty".
Our prayers for the family....

Always smiling, always cheerful...if you grew up with Grace UCC, then you knew The Presslers. My heart aches for all of you. But, I know that you have a lifetime of wonderful, happy memories.
