Alfred J. W. 'Dub' Wagoner passed away in Oklahoma City on Monday, September 4, 2017, at the age of 91 years.

Dub was the son of Elcha & Della (Young) Wagoner, born on April 18, 1926, in Lamar, Oklahoma, where he was brought up and attended schools. He served his country overseas, arriving with the first group of U.S. Army troops to occupy Japan, and serving his time in Okinawa. He returned to the Lamar/Carson area following military service.
