Wilbur Wagner Obituary
Wilbur graduated from Anthony Wayne High School in 1955. He married Johann Burkett on August 30, 1958.
He proudly served his country in the Army reserves.
He retired from Libbey/Owens-Illinois, where he worked for 34 years.
In his leisure time he enjoyed playing golf with friends and family. When his competitive spirit really came out he liked to play euchre, and generally would win!

Thoughts and prayers are with all the family. Only remember meeting him once when I was little we lived on Grover drive about three houses from them, in Whitehouse.
