Wayne Robert Lauer

Wayne was my best friend. We worked together and he trained me to be a mechanic at kolmar. We got very close during our work day. I'll never forget the time he looked at me and said you know I always wanted a daughter and now I have one. My kids would call him grandpa Wayne. We talked about everything and he was always there for me. Giving advice on everything. I'm going to miss you my friend. The many memories will never be forgotten.

Wayne was my friend for almost 30 years. We knew how to cheer each other up when we were down and we were always there for each other. He was a good friend and he's definitely going to be missed,

I became friends with Wayne in high school. Years later we worked together. Shared many stories about family and our love of gardening. Wildlife. He was one of a kind. The gentle bear. Rest easy my friend.

He was a funny man made my day at work I had the opportunity to work with him.

Hunting with Wayne one time for bears tells me that the bears pass by at 4 pm the stand I'm in about 345 he joins me I look at my watch and say it's 359 where is your bears he says don't move raises his rifle bang I turn and see a large bear drop he says came in from the other direction laugh every time I think about it

Wayne was a wealth of knowledge and when I needed answers he was always very helpful. I remember I had asked him if he would want Rose of Sharon babies and took buckets of them. He would often tell me how they were doing and always thanked me for them. It was a pleasure Wayne to share something significant that you appreciated. Rest in peace my friend

I worked with Wayne for many years. He was a good man he will be missed.
