Wayne Scharmer was born June 1, 1964 in Waconia, Minnesota to Gladys Agnes Leith and Elmer F. Scharmer. He enjoyed working on cars and helping anyone who needed it. He was a wonderful father and loved spending time with his children and grandchildren. Wayne was someone his son, Walter, could always rely on and look up to, and was proud to call him Dad.
