Wagner, Terrance”Terry”
Terrance “Terry” Wagner, 61, Goodman, passed away at home with his family by his side on Saturday, April 10, 2010.

Terry worked for longtime friend Dan Casper in truck equipment for 25 years before he later purchased Lake Hilbert Campground in 2001 in which he poured his heart and soul into making his dream of owning and operating a campground a reality.
