Walter C. Wagner, 86, of Stockton died on July 25, 2004. Walter C. Wagner, 
known to family and friends as Mike, was born in Connecticut. He graduated from 
The University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill in 1941 and was drafted for 
military service. He served in the U.S. Army until 1946. His first overseas 
assignment was to Cheltenham, England, to participate in the initial plans for 
supply operations for the proposed invasion of Europe. He then moved to London 
where, as a member of Supreme Headquarters Allied Forces in Europe (SHAFE), he 
served as Chief for Non-perishable Subsistence, first for D-Day and, later, for 
the ongoing supply of troops serving on the continent. Returning to civilian 
life, he completed a PhD in Economics at The University of Texas, Austin and 
began a long teaching career that included Drake University, Des Moines, Iowa 
and The University of Missouri, Kansas City. In 1962 he joined the faculty of 
The University of the Pacific, where he taught first at Raymond College as one 
of the original faculty. He later joined The College of the Pacific as 
Professor of Economics, where he served until his retirement. He was named 
Alexander Herron Professor of Economics in 1980, received the Faye and Alex G. 
Spanos Distinguished Teaching Award in 1983, and The Order of the Pacific in 
1986. His career also included public lecturing to corporation and union groups 
and the publication of professional articles.
Mike is survived by his wife, sister and brother. 
A Memorial Service is planned for early September 2004. Details of that service 
will be announced at a later date.
