Great post! I'm sorry I couldn't make it to the funeral. I loved Grandpa Wagner's sense of humor and am lucky to have known him.

Accidentally came across this Blog site.
An Outstanding presentation.
I worked several years for this Great Man "Lanky". I would have been greatly honored to have attended this Great Man's funeral but I was not notified of his passing, until much later.
