I did not now that James Wagg passed away a few yours ago. I played with him at Sembach AB, Germany. He was a very good pitcher. I was one of the pitchers also at Sembach Tigers. I have a few old pictures of him during games. I am so sorry about this.

I'm shocked to hear about Jimmy's passing. We were best friends for many years. Meeting first in Air Force basic Training. Jimmy and I both ended up in Germany and baseball together. Then we ended up together in Denver, where we were roommates for a time. Jim was part of my wedding party as well as the Softball teams we played together on.
I had tried to reconnect after he left Colorado on my trips to Florida with no luck until I came across his obit.
My heart felt condolences to his Mom and Dad and Sister, who I had the pleasure to have met.
Some day I hope to play ball with Jimmy in Heaven

No mention so far of how smart Jim was too. He solved the infamous "Bad Creek Express" problem in Mr Marion's Alg 2 class! As I recall he was voted most athletic at Central too.
He is missed.

Damn! I saw Jim at Harris Semi when I worked there (briefly) in 96. Wish I had seen this, I would have attended the funeral.

Our families were friends since childhood and we grew up together. Jim and Terry's mother taught at Central with my mother, June Pierce.

Jim's accomplishments and contributions will be remembered and missed by all who were fortunate enough to know him.

Sending sympathy and love to the entire family.

My prayers and condolences go out to the Wagg family. I went to school with Jimmy through the end of our 9th year. Left the area the summer just before 10thh grade but I would have attended Mel-High. I admired Jimmy for his intelligence and his sense of humor. Terry and I were friends in the good old days, too. All my sympathy, Christine Markley.

I am very sorry to hear of Jim's passing. Prayers to Jim and his family. We had many laughs during all our working years together at Harris. Jim was always so helpful when I needed assistance with IT work problems. Once I asked, how do you deal with all this stress at the helpdesk. He told me to just throw a phone or a keyboard, that will make you feel better. Lol. I can still hear him saying "da nada" after I would thank him for helping me with a computer issue. So long friend, until we meet again.

Dear Wagg Family,I want to let you know how sorry I am to hear of Jimmy's passing. I think of all the crazy times we had at Ruth Henegar, Central, and then Mel High. Jimmy and Terry were groomsmen at my wedding in Dec. of 72. My prayers are with all of you. (No one probably refers to him as Jimmy anymore.) God bless you all, Mary Ann Beasley Bailey
