"Our Dick"! Lovably irascible? Called him on his birthday and told him that "Cheetah" was still kicking at 74 years old and we speculated on who would outlive whom. Unfortunately for us that damn monkey won! As we all know, Dick loved to converse but was severely limited by breathing difficulties. You could see in his eyes that he had years worth of chatter bottled up inside him. He remains woefully missed; but not forgotten by the Wagner Family and all his friends of yore.
I have many amusing stories and old videos; perhaps I'll post them on a Web site.
Please contact me if you have more to contibute.

Dear Chris: Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.. We had lots of fun in the 50's,60's, & 70's. Card club was a great time too..Bernie and Dick went back many, many years, before we all married and started a family, he remembers the wonderful, serious, and fun times they spent together and always will. That was a long time ago, but one never, never forgets good freinds... Through the grace of God, you will pull through this sad time; his hand is always extended to us, and I know your faith in him will sustain you and your family...
