Wayne took a refrigeration maintenance course at Milwaukee Tech then went to Minnesota and attended the Dunwoody Institute. While in Minnesota, Wayne met the love of his life, Dianne P. Schwanke, and they were united in marriage on March 28, 1968 in Watertown, South Dakota. Wayne worked for many different food manufactures and had his own business, Bruesch Refrigeration, in Beaver Dam. He was a member of First Ev. Lutheran Church. Wayne retired from Kraft in 1999, taking only two months off, and then started working part-time, all the time, for a hardware store. Wayne and Dianne built a home near Wautoma on Sharon Lake. He enjoyed taking long walks in the woods and being by the calm lake but Wayne”s biggest joy in life was his family and friends. He was the type of man that would do anything for anyone. Wayne”s kindness will never be forgotten.

Wayne will be missed by his three children, all of Beaver Dam, Tammy (FiancAC., Shane Arthur) Landsee and her two children, Ryan Quiring and Brittany Landsee, Roger Bruesch, and Jason (special friend, Linda Posthuma) Bruesch, his three sisters, Marilyn (Claude) Krahn, of Watertown, Verna (Yves) Vuckovic, of Beaver Dam, and Pat (Jeff) Zimmerman, of Fond du Lac, nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends. Wayne joins his eternal life with his parents, his wife, two brothers-in-law, Donald Sekel and Herbert Lischka, and his step-father, Norman Smits.
