George,
You will be greatly missed. It was my pleasure getting to know you better and better over the years. I have many memories from knowing you since I was a young man. The first time I drove was on your farm. I was barely tall enough to see over the steering wheel. That same trip we went and saw the Bills lose one of their Superbowls at the Georgia Dome. You could probably still remember the spread, although the outcome I try to forget. Moving forward, The Christmas me and my Dad came to spend with you and Susie a couple years back will always be a memorable one! You were a great coach the day you taught me how to shoot clay. After the first station I thought I was in for a long day, but with your instruction I was blasting them out of the sky sooner than not! May peace be with you Mr. George Wiggin, as you will remain a part in our hearts and lives forever.

To my relatives, I express great sorrow at the loss of my cousin Lucky. I cannot make it all the way to Georgia in time for the service from here in Alaska, but please know that I will be thinking of Lucky.
