It has been said, time heals all wounds, I DO NOT AGREE.The wounds remain.In time,the mind,protecting its sanity,covers them with scar tissue and the pain lessens.But it is never gone. Rose Kenney..... 01/25/1940- 07/30/2014 Bernard Douglas Wagner Mickey My Dad passed away today at 4:00am he has now joined his three children in Heaven Noel, Fran and Mickey . I have to say one thing my Dad lived on this earth on his terms..My Dad has been sick for so long he lived much longer then they ever thought he would he always fought back .I do believe once Mickey died everything in him died. My father Bernard Douglas Wagner was a Son a Brother a Uncle and Husband and Papa and a Daddy he was one of the oldest of 16 children. He was a Dad of 6 children Noel,Patty,Michele,Nicole, Fran, Mickey . His grandchildren Erin,D.J.,Ryan,Conner,Tyler,Brennan,Kaieigh,Lindsey,Kyle, Brianna,Chyenne. His Great Grandchildren Lucas,Xavier. Mickey as he was called by all was the hardest working man I have ever known . My Dad worked for Dunking Donuts and also then years later owned the Port Jefferson Dunking Donuts.but after that adventure he then bought a baseball card store that he did tell he fully retired He gave his store to his brother Jerry . My Dad and Mom meet at Dunking Donuts funny enough My Dad was the manager and my Mom came in and asked for a job I believe it was love at first sight by my Dad .He of cause hired Mom but did tell her if she came in with a skirt that shirt he would cut it off or she would have to go out with him . Mom was 16 Dad was 21 to say the least they were married six months later and before you knew it they started there family Noel was born and then Patty then Michele then Me and Fran & Mickey.Dad always made sure there was a roof over our heads and food on the table and always a Christmas to remember no matter if we had money or not and holidays and vacations. He was a very tough man he wasnt one who told you he loved you or you did good. I can count how many times he told me he was proud of me .When I saw him in May was one of the times He started to cry and told me how much he loved me and how proud of me he was of the family I made and the life I made and wanted me to be happy. I do know he meant it. He truly made me to be the hard worker I am as much as I hated Dunking Donuts it gave me the working ethics I have. My dad tough me that along with my Mom..My Mom is the the strongest person I know My Dad is all she knows since she 16 my heart is so torn for her . One of my favorite memories of my Dad was when we had a father and daughter day and went go-carting together funny enough here in Selden were I live. Another favorite memory was when I was in a beauty pageant and Dad walk me on stage he was so proud. I also loved the time he came to New York by himself and Patty and Roger and My self and Dad went to fox-woods together and laughed together and gambled together liked we love and when he sat at my dining room table eating the big spaghetti dinner I made with the works and said you cook like your mom and look as beautiful as her ..I remember the pinball machine we had and we would have contest who had the highest score.I remember growing up and Christmas eve being so magical or the trip to California in the car the 7 of us and spending the summer with my Dads family and watching them all play cards the brother and sisters and my Dad yelling at Uncle Jimmy to sit his ass down and us cousin playing cards in the other room for candy or being slaves to the winner or the Disney cruise or the weekend cruise I went alone with my mom and Dad for a birthday or the trip to Canada and the first trip to Atlantic City with Dad and Mom and my god parents and me playing the slots at 15 maybe thats were I got the bug and eating at the most fancy restaurants in A/C because my Dad was a high roller .My Dad would always say you have champagne taste with a beer pocketbook ching chong...or sorry charlie only the finest tuna can beat the daddy..I do know one thing Daddy you can have all the cheese sandwiches you want and all the ice-cream you want and spaghetti sauce you want now and play poker all day with Mickey with your cigars and Bloody Marys with out us watering them down like you didnt know.. and be in no more pain. There will be no services for his death in a few months Mom will take his ashes and Mickeys and scatter them .My heart is so sad in more ways then one . Dad rest in peace and Know I love You very much . Life is short, live it. Anger is bad, dump it. Memories are sweet,cherish it.
