Mr.Wagner,,thank you for the mutual work we did together.me fixing the a/c and heat and buying vans from ya ,,god speed buddy Steve Norden,,,Norden mechanical,Simsbury,Ct.

Like so many others I have none but happy memories of our dealings with Wagner Ford. The Simsbury/Granby community was fortunate to have had Dick Wagner serving it for so many years.

Babette and Curt Weaver and family want you to know that we are thinking of you in these difficult times and care about you very much. With love.

Mr. Wagner was a kind and generous man who touched so many lives and made the world a better place to live. I know he is already making heaven better if that's possible. Papa Wags really made his employees part of his family and we will all miss him. I will always have fond memories of this wonderful man.

I'd like to send my sincere sympathies to the entire Wagner family. The fun and stories that I have from working for Mr. Wagner could fill a book.

My Dad's , Uncle's and Cousin's could fill a library.

The list of their contributions would fill a page, but for me the most lasting ones were those that helped to finance additions to the McLean Game Refuge. Hundreds of acres, including a critically important in-holding in the so-called Western Highlands, will forever be set aside as wildlife habitat. Without Lina's and his support, those lands never would have...

Mr Wagner was like a father to the people that worked for him.
he took the time to care and help anybody with anything.
I worked for Mr wagner for over 10 years, and they were the best 10 years of my professional life.I will miss his warmth, caring and intelligence.
Simsbury was a better place with Mr Wagner in it. His passing will be felt by all.
