Wolter, Roger Dean "Buzz", 69, passed away May 7, 2011, from cancer. A native of La Crosse, KS, son of Frank and Ola (Price) Wolter, Buzz graduated from La Crosse High School in 1959, and from the Wichita Barber College in 1960. He cut hair in Newton until hiring onto the Santa Fe Railroad in 1972. As a locomotive engineer, Buzz drove trains out of Newton, then out of Amarillo, TX, until his retirement in 2003, when he moved back to south central Kansas where he devoted his time and energy to friends, family, long walks around the College Hill Park, frequent travel and the occasional poker game. Predeceased by his parents and eldest daughter, Jamy Ann Wolter, he's survived by daughters Sandy Wolter and Sara White, Wichita; grandchildren Henry and Lydia Mamalis, Elle and Myles White, ex-wife Joy Carlson (Schwab), McPherson; brother Ron (Elaine) Wolter, Moore Haven, FL; nephew Dennis Wolter and family, Buckeye, AZ; and a multitude of beloved cousins, friends and railroaders.

Lee and I, along with our family, send our sincere sympathy. Roger was such a kind, loving, and gentle man--always thinking of others. Our three children remember how much fun they had going peach picking with him in the summer when they were young. He will be so very missed by all of us who loved him.
Sincerely,
Lee and Rhonda Tillberg and Family

I would like to send my family and my sympathy to all of the family. When we went to high school we found out that we were shirttail cousins. Then after we graduated we went our seperate ways and had no contact until the last few years and tried to catch up on what we had done. I had told Buzz that he should come out to the desert in Lancaster, Ca. to visit me and he said that he would. I am sorry that he did not make it.
I am so sorry for your loss.
