Not sure what to say?

Mrs. Wagner, I am so sorry to hear about Mr. Wagner's passing. I was a student of his 30 years ago at Babcock middle school. My closest friend and I met while in his class. We have such fond memories of our time with Mr. Wagner. We were able to come back and visit one day when we were on a break from college. We hadn't seen him in probably a decade, but he remembered us both, and recalled many of the conversations we had had while in his class. We, of course, talked about the Red Sox. Mr....

Beth,

I am so sorry to hear of Dave's passing. He is a true friend going back to our days at Westerly High School, URI and beyond. He was always happy to be in your company and made you feel as though you were the most important person in the room. He made me smile whenever we were together. I've said many times that with his passion for sports, coupled with his booming voice, he would have made a terrific broadcaster. However, I know that he loved teaching, the kids knew it as well...

Beth my sincerest condolences for your loss. I spent many years of my youth with Dave growing up in the same neighborhood. Many days in his basement honing our ping pong and pool skills and Burt and Dave teaching me every card game you could imagine. Playing baseball in his yard, our first tennis days and basketball at the courts on Airport road, my first round of golf with Burt and Dave, my first baseball game at Fenway Burt and Dave, all great times when life was more simple. Rest in...

Dear Mrs. Wagner,
Many fond memories of your husband from 5th grade math at Babcock School. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
Sincerely,
Mary Kelly

Long-time friend of Dave's. Lived with him for a while back in the early 80s in Fort Lauderdale. Many great times and laughs over the years. PC basketball Red Sox baseball Bert and Pinky. Took in the Dolphins game with Dave at his house last year still quick with the wit and a gracious host. It was great to see him again and reminisce. Great memories. My deepest sympathies and prayers to Beth. Rest in peace my friend God bless you always.

I knew Dave since elementary school...such a funny and smart person. Both of my boys had him as a math teacher and loved him for his style and knowledge of numbers.
My sincerest sympathies to you and your family.

I graduated from high school with Dave and I'll always remember how funny he was, especially in study hall. I'm so sorry for your loss.

Dear Beth,
I'm so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.
God Bless
