Jack was born in Piqua, Ohio on April 6th, 1930. He attended Piqua High School where he met his
childhood sweetheart and future wife, Jean, and where he competed as a varsity athlete in
three sports - football, basketball, and track. He was later inducted into the Piqua Hall of Fame
for his athletic accomplishments. Jack went on to Ohio State University where he played
football for four years. He continued his association with OSU throughout his life not only as an
avid fan but as a football recruiter and active member of the Dayton-area OSU Alumni
Association. Following college, Jack served two years in the Navy. He went on to work at the
Acushnet Company for over 35 years where he started as a sales representative and retired as
National Sales Manager.
Jack enjoyed volunteering for local organizations in which his children were involved, including
Dayton Dolphins Swim Team and Dayton Diabetes.
We will remember Jack with a twinkle in his eye and a belly laugh that always filled the room.
His big heart, gentle soul, ready smile and love of family, friends and fun touched everyone who
knew him. That is something that cannot be measured and a legacy that will live on for all that
knew him.
In his final years and months of life, Jack received loving care from the staff at Carlyle House
and Hospice of the Miami Valley. We want to thank everyone for their kindness in making
Carlyle House a comfortable home where we always knew he was cherished.
He was preceded in death by his loving wives, Jean Ulbrich Wagner, Wanda Carmichael Wagner
and Dolores Winkler, his son Doug Wagner, and his brothers Daniel (Joanne) Wagner and
Rolland (Martha) Wagner. He is survived by his daughters Susan Mooney and Molly (Steve)
Bowater, daughter-in-law Lori Wagner and loving grandchildren Erin (Gael Huber) Mooney,
Sean Mooney, Stefan (Brianne) Wagner, Whitney Wagner, William, Stephanie, and Caroline
Bowater.
