Willis “Bill” Dean Ressler, 92, passed away peacefully on November 23, 2018 at the Minnesota Veterans Home in Fergus Falls, Minnesota. Bill was born to Floyd and Rose (Shultz) Ressler on September 19, 1926 in Shell Rock, Iowa. He graduated from Hampton High School in Hampton, Iowa in 1943.

Bill entered the U.S. Army Air Corp during World War II, serving stateside from 1943 to 1945. After his service Bill began a career in retail sales management with Gambles-Skogmo in Spencer and Algona, Iowa. He then became the district manager for Montgomery Wards in several locations throughout the Midwest.

Bill enjoyed fishing, gardening, dancing, his dogs, a good Louis L’Amour novel, telling a good (or bad) joke and time spent sitting in his garage with a brandy and a cigar. People were drawn to his warm smile and quick wit.

He was a shining light and always had a supporting word. He is survived by four children, Suzanne (Gerald) Bormann of Guttenberg, Iowa, Nancy (Steve) Waller of Breezy Point, Minnesota, Robert (Linda) Ressler of Fergus Falls, Minnesota and David (Patty) Ressler of Custer, South Dakota; step-son Randy (Shirley) Gregory of Mazeppa, Minnesota; fourteen grandchildren; nineteen great-grandchildren; sister Lois Johnson of Conroe, Texas; his special friend Lois Kern of Fergus Falls, Minnesota; numerous relatives, friends and two assholes.
