<a href="https://yazelmeglifh.com/obituaries/vernon-waner-1">Vernon Waner Obituary 2021 - Yazel - Megli Funeral Homes (yazelmeglifh.com)</a>

Vernon Francis Waner was born on December 3, 1926 to Andy and Frances Waner in a small dirt floor house just east of Florence, Kansas. When Vernon was six weeks old, his family moved to the OK Ranch where Vernon’s father became the foreman of the OK. Vernon spent his childhood on the OK Ranch. He attended District 22 School then in 1939 he attended the Catholic School in Florence, Kansas. When his father passed away in 1940, Vernon had to return to country school and finish 8th grade, at the age of 14 with all of his older brothers married or in the military. Vernon had to take over as foreman of the OK Ranch. He took pride in the fact that he was able to run the ranch and send his younger sister Dorothy through high school and care for both her and his mother.

Vernon met the love of his life, Henrietta Stika, at a cake walk held at the Youngtown school northeast of Marion. They were married November 14, 1951. They lived on various rental properties until settling down on her parent’s farm northeast of Marion for a number of years. During this time Vernon continued as foreman of the OK until he was able to move his mother off the ranch and into Florence in 1953. At that time, Vernon left ranching and became a farmer along with holding various jobs at Reynolds Aluminum, the alfalfa mill, the Riddle quarry, Florence quarry, KP&amp;L, and helped build concrete culverts on Highway 77. Vernon quit farming in 1993 and by that time had been working at Marion Die and Fixture for 13 years. 

Vernon and Henrietta moved to town in 1969. 

He retired from Die and Fixture in 2000. Retirement was spent fishing and helping his kids with one project or another. Vernon and Henrietta also enjoyed several bus trips to go gambling.

Vernon and Henrietta were proud parents of five children: David, Carol, Darrell, Michael, and Steven. They loved attending school functions and ball games and continued this tradition with the grandchildren and great-grandchildren. They spent their lifetime worrying about their children and grandchildren and doing anything to help them out. Vernon enjoyed helping his children and could often be found tinkering around in either his garage or, their garages, fixing stuff. Vernon was proud of his garden and although he grumbled about it, he made sure to fill Henrietta’s dozens of flower pots each year and would diligently water her flowers. He continued taking care of some of her flowers after her death and always made sure to decorate her grave, especially for her birthday, their wedding anniversary, and Valentine's Day.

Vernon was a member of the Knights of Columbus. His Catholic faith was very important to him and he enjoyed serving as an usher when needed. 

He enjoyed fishing at the lake with his brother, children, and grandchildren. He also enjoyed going to dances with Henrietta and the pair could be seen doing polkas or waltzing throughout their entire marriage. 

Family was very important to both Vernon and Henrietta and when Henrietta passed away in July 2017, Vernon lost the love of his life. Along with his dear wife Henrietta, Vernon was met in heaven by his parents and siblings John, Paul, Bob, George, Ruth, and Dorothy, along with brothers- and sisters-in-law.

He is survived by his children Dave (Tena) Waner of Marion, Darrell (Holly) Waner of Chicago, Ill., Carol (Craig) Leppke of Hillsboro, Mike (Tina) Waner of McPherson, and Steve (Traci) Waner of Marion, along with nine grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren. A private family graveside service will be held Saturday .

Memorials may be made to the Father Kapaun Fund and Marion County Lake heated dock.

<a href="https://www.ryanmortuary.com/obituary/Wesley-Aills">Obituary for Wesley Bob Aills | Ryan Mortuary</a>

July 12, 1965 ~ November 29, 2021 (age 56)

Wesley Bob Aills, 56, of Salina, went to sleep on this earth and with all our hearts, we believe he woke up in the arms of Jesus on Monday, November 29, 2021. Bobby was born in Portage, Indiana to Bob and Charllotte Aills on July 12, 1965 and was a lifetime resident of Salina, KS. 

Bobby was able to attend school from elementary through secondary and graduated from Salina Central High. 

He worked at Love Box, Phillips Lighting, QCS (OCCK) and various other jobs. He was dedicated to working and took his responsibilities very seriously. 

As independent as Bobby was, he wanted to be with his beloved Daddy and Mama and remained with them until their passing and then lived with family. &nbsp; Coming from a large family of five, Bobby was our sunshine, our baby, and was loved and showed love to almost everyone he met. He loved Jesus, and although he could not read, you would find him daily with his Bible open on his lap, legs crossed, just like his dad. He loved his big extended family and was known to be the "baby whisperer." Bobby was so gentle, loving and kind and was he was the center of our laughter, tears, fun and joy. He adored our pastor, his family and the people at Ray Avenue Baptist Church. Bobby could impersonate different people like no other, their actions, walk and talk. &nbsp; Although perfect he may sound, he had a very ornery side to him, which also made us laugh. Bobby was the "Singing Aills Family" drummer and also played the spoons. His favorite song was "It Is Well." He loved gospel, bluegrass and country music. He loved wrestling and knew all their names, and everything about them. He was quite opiniated about who was good and who was not. Dr. Pepper, Doritos and Reese's Peanut Butter Cups made him very happy as he would binge every Friday night watching the Three Stooges, Laurel and Hardy, and Hee Haw (his party night). &nbsp; Bobby is survived by his siblings Vickie Weinheimer (Phil), Sandy Rueckert (Randy), Rick Flack (Julie), Jody Herwig (Mike), and Mary Aills.

Bobby was preceded in death by his loving parents Bob and Charlotte Aills and many other family members. &nbsp; Visitation will be from 6 to 8 p.m. Friday, December 3, 2021 at Ray Avenue Church. His celebration of life service will be at 10 a.m. Saturday at Ray Avenue Church, Salina, KS. Burial will follow in Elmwood Cemetery, Lindsborg. &nbsp; Memorials can be made to Ray Avenue Baptist Church.

Timothy Pete Falcon, 62, entered his eternal home on November 25, 2021. Tim was born January 6, 1959, to Titus Pete Falcon, Sr. and Nancy (Newell) Falcon in Concordia, KS. He was raised in Sylvan Grove, KS and graduated from Sylvan Unified High School in 1977. Tim attended North Central Kansas Area Vo-Tech after High School and graduated with a Certificate in Diesel Mechanics.

He moved to Minneapolis, KS and worked for his uncle Don at the Sawmill where he met some of his lifelong friends. Tim relocated to Salina, KS and worked for Exide Battery and the City of Salina for a few years. He returned to his hometown of Sylvan Grove and purchased the gas station known as Falcon Service for the last 19 years.&nbsp;

On April 28, 2012 he was united in marriage to the love of his life, Peg Zachgo. In this union, Tim was blessed with six stepchildren and 16 grandchildren.&nbsp;

Tim enjoyed demolition derbies and the race car circuit with Earl, Ted, Jim and Dave. You could find him at the race track every weekend in his younger days. When he wasn’t there, he was either traveling with the crew or competing at demolition derbies. He also loved to go fishing and hunting with his brothers, especially during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. Tim never met a stranger.

After his marriage to Peg, he enjoyed road trips, spending time with his new family, and spoiling his grandchildren.

He was best known in Sylvan Grove for opening the station early so he could sit at the counter and read the Salina Journal and do the crossword puzzle before he started his day. Lord help you if you came in early and wanted something done prior to him getting that alone time. His bark was always worse than his bite.&nbsp; He loved everyone and would help anyone even while grumbling under his breath.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;

He was preceded in death by his grandparents, Ralph and Agnes Newell and Pastor and Mary Falcon; and his brother-in-law, Don Thrun.

Tim is survived by his wife Peg Falcon; stepchildren, Jesse (Candice) Zachgo, Sally Behrens (Brad), Christy Harry, Matthew (Bernice) Zachgo, Sara Zachgo, and David (Christena) Zachgo; grandchildren, Grayson, Landon, Cody, Hannah, MacKayla, Dacoda, Xander, Callie, Dayln, Rebecca, Logan, Jaden, Aleah, Cambrie, Bentley, and Hudson; parents, Titus Pete Falcon, Sr and Nancy Falcon; siblings, Terri Falcon-Thrun, Linda (Tom) Goss, Titus Pete Falcon, Jr., Todd (Dorie) Falcon, and Julie Falcon; nieces and nephews, Lynne Thrun, Patricia (Kevin) Flenniken, Thomas W.

John Richard Holub

Vernon met the love of his life, Henrietta Stika, at a cake walk held at the Youngtown school northeast of Marion. They were married November 14, 1951. They lived on various rental properties until settling down on her parent’s farm northeast of Marion for a number of years. During this time Vernon continued as foreman of the OK until he was able to move his mother off the ranch and into Florence in 1953. At that time, Vernon left ranching and became a farmer along with holding various jobs at Reynolds Aluminum, the Alfalfa Mill, the Riddle Quarry, Florence Quarry, KP &amp; L, and helped build concrete culverts on HWY 77. Vernon quit farming in 1993 and by that time had been working at Marion Die and Fixture for 13 years. Vernon and Henrietta moved to town in 1969. He retired from Die and Fixture in 2000. Retirement was spent fishing and helping his kids with one project or another. Vernon and Henrietta also enjoyed several bus trips to go gambling.

Vernon and Henrietta were proud parents of five children: David, Carol, Darrell, Michael, and Steven. They loved attending school functions and ball games and continued this tradition with the grandchildren and great-grandchildren. They spent their lifetime worrying about their children and grandchildren and doing anything to help them out. Vernon enjoyed helping his children and could often be found tinkering around in either his garage or their garages fixing stuff. Vernon was proud of his garden and although he grumbled about it, he made sure to fill Henrietta’s dozens of flower pots each year and would diligently water her flowers. He continued taking care of some of her flowers after her death and always made sure to decorate her grave, especially for her birthday, their wedding anniversary, and Valentine's day.

Vernon was a member of the Knights of Columbus. His Catholic faith was very important to him and he enjoyed serving as an usher when needed. He enjoyed fishing at the lake with his brother, children, and grandchildren. He also enjoyed going to dances with Henrietta and the pair could be seen doing Polka or waltzing throughout their entire marriage. Family was very important to both Vernon and Henrietta and when Henrietta passed away in July 2017, Vernon lost the love of his life. Along with his dear wife Henrietta, Vernon was met in Heaven by his parents and siblings John, Paul, Bob, George, Ruth, and Dorothy, along with brothers and sisters in law.

He is survived by his children Dave (Tena) Waner of Marion, Darrell (Holly) Waner of Chicago, Ill., Carol (Craig) Leppke of Hillsboro, Mike (Tina) Waner of McPherson, and Steve (Traci) Waner of Marion along with nine grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren. A private family graveside service will be held Saturday . Memorials may be made to the Father Kapaun Fund &amp; Marion County Lake heated dock.
