William Sayler Obituary

William Eugene Sayler, 79, passed away at his home in Big Springs on November 18. Bill was born July 2, 1937 in Wamego, Kansas to Jordan Ray Sayler and Zula Corinne (Rogers) Sayler. During his life he lived in or near Manhattan, Topeka, Lecompton, and Lawrence.

Although he was self-taught, Bill was a highly regarded expert in antiques and interior decorating. He was also an active volunteer with the Lecompton Historical Society.

Bill was preceded in death by his parents, Ray (1977) and Corinne (1995) and three brothers - infant James (1931), John Edward (1941), and Robert (2009). He is survived by three nephews – Robert Sayler, of Des Moines, Iowa; Larry Sayler, of Greenville, Illinois; and Kenyon Sayler, of Roseville, Minnesota.

At Bill's request, his remains were cremated and no services were held. Cremation Center of Kansas City handled the arrangements.
