I send my greetings and my sympathy to the Wiggins family. Mr. Wiggins was an excellent person to work with at Southside Regional Medical Center as a security officer on the midnight shift now whenever there was a situation, let me tell you Mr. Wiggins was soft-spoken, and he was able to get the people to hear what he was saying without raising his voice, and they all complied.

A man of God and always so very kind, all that Willie gave to those he loved will be terribly missed. May the heavens cover his loved ones with extra love and comfort while they transition to living a life with him in spirit. Sympathy to all those that love Willie. Rest in paradise.

Mr. Wiggins and I crossed paths during inservice one year at GCC. I said “ finally Mr. Wiggins we get to meet, the inmates said you are my husband, my response “ well he must be a pretty cool dude if he can put up with me”. We quickly realized there was no kinship other than the GCC family we both belong to, so Rest In Peace my dear brother, both of your families will truly miss you. May God strengthen and comfort your families.
