Orville has been a long time neighbour, my first boss(Lo Cost Drugs) and a friend. I'm glad we happened to run into each other in later years and always had time for a good chat. He started off his side gig when he gave the toast to the bride at my wedding back in 1978. I will miss him. - Posted by: Sharon B (friend) on: Aug 19, 2016

Sincerest condolences to the Wagner family. He was always kind and gracious to me and my parents, which I deeply appreciated and admired. Lots of fond memories working for him at Lo-Cost! Rest well Mr Wagner. - Posted by: Luba B () on: Aug 16, 2016
