Rev. Albert Lee Wagner

The world lost powerful and loving soul with the passing of Rev. Albert Wagner. He was a great artist, a perceptive viewer of life, and first, and foremost, a friend. The world was a better place with him in it as I'm sure heaven is now that he is there!

We also have been blessed by meeting such a great person when we visited our kids, Jeff and Olivia Diehl who introduced us to world of folk art done by none other than Rev.Wagner. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Bonita and the rest of the family. Rev. Wagner has made an impaction on many people during his lifetime. The poem "THE DASH" sums up his life here on earth.
from Kansas friends, Gary and Judy Diehl.

We were honored and blessed to have know Albert for the years we did. We have our good friends Gene and Linda to thank for the introduction. Albert was my brother in Christ and I await the day that we will meet again. Our lives are the better for having known him and his family.

We felt a great loss when our friend passed on. We will relish all of the precious memories as well as the wonderful artwork that we own. With each piece he created, Rev. Wagner poured his heart and soul into it. Like I told members of the church, it is not as if he is completely gone, only physically as his spirit will endure.

I had the pleasure of meeting Rev. Wagner in 2003, while visiting my brother and sister-in-law ( Jeff and Olivia) in Ohio. What a man... There are so many words to describe him... The best that I can come up with is.... Thanks.. Thanks for touching not only my heart but my daughter's Chelsea! He is a great man and I am sure God is proud to have you home now, making more art and spreading the love and kindness that you did so well. My prayers and thoughts are with Bonita and the rest of the...

peace and love too my friend and brother in finding the true in all things!!!! from jesse bey

My brother and sister-in-law introduced me to Albert about 8 years ago. I immediately liked him and he and his artwork were an inspiration to me. I have fond memories of his visit to an art exhibition I had at their home as well as a visit I had to his home. He sang a song for me in prayer in his basement chapel. He was a kind and generous man. I wish I could have met with him at least one more time. A piece of his that he made for me is hung in my apertment and it is the first thing...
