Stan D Wagner Obituary (1936 - 2016)

Stan D. WAGNER April 6, 1936 - August 7, 2016 Stan passed away on the morning of August 7. He couldn't have had a more peaceful death. One last breath and he was gone. It was entirely unforeseen, no hospice, no pain, no warning. And yet, it has been coming for the last four years as his Parkinson's disease took a stronger hold. Stan was in many ways a shy man who didn't have a lot to say--unless he had a lot to say. He was an honest, decent, hardworking man, with an enormous sense of doing what was right. This work ethic was part of what made him such valuable asset to the Boeing Company for 38 years, where he worked as a Developmental Software Manager on such projects as AWACS, 757/767, Energy Control Systems, to name a few. He retired 22 years ago, giving his family time to actually see him, and to spend time with him. He loved his family, golf (as long as he could play it), women's basketball, Poirot, his kelly green 1973 Porsche Targa (it broke his heart when he had to sell it), and pizza and chocolate gelato on Saturday nights. And although he was not a man to show affection ("no hugs, please"), he valued his friends, colleagues and golf competitors. He is survived by Kathy, his wife of 46 years, son Andy (Shilpa), daughter Annamarie (Terence), three granddaughters, Courtney, Mira and Sonika, siblings Dick (Mary Ann), Larry (Lucy), Carol (Dick), Kurt, and numerous nieces and nephews. A Funeral Mass will be held Wednesday, August 17th, 11 AM at St. Joseph's Catholic Church 732 18th Ave. E., Seattle.
