IN MEMORIAM Heartfelt condolences to the family from the Air Bahama Crew POST YOUR CONDOLENCE HERE It is with sadness that I am notifying you of the passing of Jack Wagner. I have fond memories of Jack and know that he is flying that orange airplane in the sky with his glove on! May he rest in peace. Margie Torres It is with profound sadness I hear about the loss of two great Pilots who steered us in the direction to safe journeys in the clouds. Captains Jack Wagner and Everett Terry were two good pilots. My Sincere Condolences to Both of the Families. May they Rest in PEACE. Sincerely, Olive Schneider Diane Wildgoose, Freeport - Grand Bahama I am so sorry to hear about Jack Wagner passing. God Bless him and His family. May he rest in peace. Diane Wildgoose Very, very sad news... He was THE Captain in every sense of the word.Only hope he has his Olives and Cherries with him now... (That's A Nassau Air Dispatch joke... He would delay departure until catering brought the required items !!) Rest in Peace CAPT Jack. From ALL at NAS Airport. Ian Mortemore NICOLE BURNETT, England May dear Jack rest in peace - and I share Margies fond memories of Jack flying with his glove on.....what a lovely picture imagining him flying That Orange Plane high up in the sky with that great moustache, twinkle in his eyes and teasing smile. He will not be forgotten by anyone who ever met him. Nicole Krettels Burnett DOLORES LLEIDA, NASSAU So sorry to hear that, he was my favorite. Concolences to the family from ADELA ADDERLEY OSTERLOH, Nassau Jack was like the father to us all. One of the most difficult flights with IAB was with Jack. We took the bus from Luxembourg taking out one of the diverted flights from Frankfurt and Jack had to make a tough decision whether to fly or stay in Frankfurt, because it was just snowing so much. At one point we boarded the passengers and half were Icelandic's but had to get the pax off the plane again. That evening I followed him every- where because I wanted to know the next step. Eventually we were going to take-off. Nicky (Vernica Ferguson) and I were the most senior on that flight and we worked hard. Captain Jack is still my hero because he got me home safely. May his soul rest in peace and let light perpetual shine upon him. I salute him. Adela Especially expressed condolences by Captain and Mrs. Emmett Hays, Captain Gus Bacon, Canada Very sad to hear about the passing of Jack. Our heartfelt condolences to his daughter and family.Fondest regards, Marian and Klaus from South Africa Georgette Kohn-Frisch, Chantal Matuszewski, Luxembourg GD Gun Vidal, Stockholm Sweden Air Bahama on Facebook
