Wayne E. Russler

When we were little kids we grew up with the Russlers at Stony Lake. As I recall Robin and Teri were much more interesting than the frogs.
The first printing press I encountered was in Wayne's shop. Fascinating machine. Interesting how I had four years of Graphic arts through high school and became a Graphic Designer and printing expert.
Good hard working honest people like my parents. Wayne was one of my dads best old pals from Napoleon grade school. Never forget seeing a tear in...

Napoleon has felt a big loss with Shirley and now Wayne gone. They were such an influential part of the township's history. Good memories for me in knowing them and their daughters.

Dear Robin, Teresa, and family,
We have over fifty years of great memories of Wayne and Shirley. What wonderful friends these two people were. They will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved them. We certainly do.
Sincerely,

Any of us could be proud to someday leave Wayne's legacy.

Robin, Teri, and families--your dad was beloved by so many. It is hard to add anything new to what everyone else has written here (or elsewhere) about him. I just knew him (and your mom) as such fun-loving and friendly people from my mom & dad's generation. On a recent trip home, my dad and I stopped in and visited with your dad and I so enjoyed it. And to Mr. Russler's friends (I just can't call him Wayne), how lucky you have been and how much I know you will miss this great man and...

Dear Teresa, Robin and family,
We were saddened to hear of Wayne's passing but know that he is in a better place. We will never forget this kind and gentle man. Wish we could have been there for the service. You and your family are in our prayers.

Napoleon's finest. Wayne was the kind of person who would not only help but be the hardest worker on any project. I am very glad that I can say that he was my friend.

I can remember the first time I Met Wayne. He was the greeter when I first went to the Methodist church. What a winning smile. I had the priveledge of knowing both Wayne and Shirley for most of my life. I worked with them and for them. They were the most giving people I ever met. We will all miss them, that knew them. God's strenght to the family. This is a sad time, but I am sure they are together again.

We have known Wayne and Shirley since high school--enjoyed golfing with them in the Ball & Chain league--worked w/Wayne at the Legion. He was always the same--don't think he ever got rattled. Great Guy!!
