I am so sorry for the loss of such a good man. Many prayers to the family and friends of Mr. Losser. I will never forget the times I spent the night with Kathy, and in the morning Mr. Losser was up making pancakes for us. He would always put peanut butter and syrup on them. One was never enough, as he would fill your plate. Thank you for the memories, as there are many good ones.

Dear Losser Family,
I am very sorry to here about Wayne's passing. Actually, I mean "Mr. Losser" because I never addressed an adult by there first name growing up. What a great Father, husband,grandfather and just an all around great person. My memories of him are of a happy, personable and intelligent man. My father and I were remembering him and talking about him always driving around the grandkids in his golf cart when he lived in Kearns. Also, that he always had the nicest,cleanest golf cart and he would be off to the golf course towing his cart behind his truck.
I remember that if Kathy and I were ever in trouble he would tell me off the exact same way he told his daughter. I felt like he was my other Dad growing up. He always had a word of wisdom and also a great laugh. My thoughts are with all of you through out these most difficult times. Please love and hold each other close, as time is only a blink of an eye and then it is gone.
My Sincere sympathy and Love

We only knew you the few years we have lived in Florence, but have enjoyed your friendship. Larry enjoyed playing golf with you and both of us enjoyed playing "65".
We will miss you very much but know that you are in a much better place and hope to see you there some day.

But. I trust that God will open a door.
And show me how to go on without you.To give me some hope and comfort too.
For you were my life and I loved you so dear.
And it breaks my heart to not have you near.

Dad, Thank you for allowing me to love you as you were my own father,
When My father passed Ten years ago, you allowed me to love you. There was not a time when we saw eachother, that we would not hug, This always felt genuine. I always felt as if you cared and loved all your children deeply and you always made me feel part of the family, For that I love you and have always carried the utmost respect for you. Thank you for being there and allowing me to love you. I am proud to have called you DAD and to have known such a strong man.
