Dear Ann: My sincere sympathy to you. You are a very special person. I am so sorry I was not able to visit you in person at Phil's visitation. He truly brought smiles to thousands and thousands of people during his lifetime...from a long-ago friend, Theresa Muller (Basler)

Our sincere condolences to the entire Wagner Family. Phil had a natural talent of adding an air of excitement and optimism to any room in which he entered. As a young boy, I once asked him how he handled all the "no" responses when he tried to make a sale. Being the consummate salesman, he responded, "Jimmy, a 'no' just means you are one step closer to a 'yes'." I think he truly lived his life with that perspective. May God be with you during this time.

To the Wagner family: I just heard about Phil's death. I am so sorry for your loss. He and I spent many hours talking "Lincoln". He was certainly a pleasure to know.

Dear Ann & Family,
My heartfelt sympathy goes out to all of you. It was a shock to see that Phil had passed. He was just in Gallagher's that weekend. It was always a pleasure to see you both dancing & socializing & having a good time. (I hope he didn't eat to much spumoni!!)There will truly be a void not seeing him! You are in our thoughts & prayers. Peace & Love, Ro @ Gallagher's
