Bio
On September 29, 2010, "Bob" Van Wagoner passed through the veil after a lingering illness. He was born May 13, 1930 in Standardville, UT to Elden and Sarah Jane Pinegar Van Wagoner. He married Ruth Wells in 1948 and together they had six children. In 1994, they served a mission in Kirtland, OH. He worked at Kaiser Mine in Sunnsyside, UT until moving to Salt Lake in 1960, where he obtained his own electrical license. He worked as an independent electrical contractor until 1969 when he was hired as Chief Electrical Inspector for Salt Lake County. In 1975, he also began teaching the Electrical Apprentice Classes at the Salt Lake Community College. He held many church positions including Bishop of the Wellington Second Ward from 1958-1960. Bob and Ruth taught their children to love the gospel and the value of hard work. He had a great love for music and dancing which he passed along to his children and grandchildren. One of his greatest joys was having family sing-a-longs.
