Mr. Conley “Beryl” Wagner, Jr. affectionately known as “Bull” age 73 of Stuart, Virginia passed away at his home on Saturday, June 3, 2017. He was born in Roanoke, Virginia on November 15, 1943 to the late C. Beryl Wagner, Sr. and Carrie Neal Rotenberry Wagner.

Beryl faithfully served his country in the Air Force during the Cuban Missile Crisis. He had a special relationship with his lineman brothers from I.B.E.W., in particular Tommy Keough of MTV Solutions of Holbrook, Massachusetts. Beryl was a man that never met a stranger, helped every one he could, and never passed a hitch hiker. He took several mission trips to Lima, Peru and one to a reservation in Arizona with a dear friend/mother Sue Barnett. He was a legend in his own time!
