Dear Bill Wagner Family,

I was very sorry to hear of your loss.
Bill was always up-beat when I saw him, even when I knew he was very sick. I never remember talking to him when he didn't have a joke to tell me and brighten my day a little.
I surely do have good memories of us coaching baseball together. Bill was always the one who kept everyone loose. That ability was so important & I never did quite learn how to do it. He also did a particularly good job coaching the pitchers and catchers.
I also appreciated his witness the last few times I saw him. Knowing he realized that following Christ is the essence of life will, I'm sure, help the family through the grieving process.
Please know our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Sincerely,
Tom and Carolyn Hart
