I had left Pittsburgh many years ago and when I would visit home Dick was always part of my visit. He always had a smile, some kind words, and questions about my family.
As I am writing this my daughter called and she asked what I was doing. I told her that one of Grandma's neighbors from across the street had passed and she knew it was Dick. She then proceeded to remind me about the "concrete driveway story" that I have told many times over the years.
He was kind, thoughtful, and very much reminded me of my own father, I will miss him.

When I worked at Blue Cross I indirectly reported to Mr.Wagner. The standards he set for us made us better employees. I am sorry to hear of his passing and extend my sympathy to his family. With good memories of working for such a nice man.
