Not sure what to say?

Al was an incredible influence on my life. He inspired my creativity and push me to explore stories and life outside my experience. He was in my thoughts today and I’m saddened to discover I was not able to say thank you personally.

A true gentleman. You were in my thoughts today.

Great great actor . Sorely miss him.

Al and I worked in the Virgin Islands for WSTX-AM. He was an amazing talent and had a great announcing and singing voice. I just learned of his passsing.

Just discovered this sad news...My condolences to all of his family and friends.

Mr. Wiggins was indeed an extraordinary professor at Western Carolina University, giving many opportunities to his students, as he shared his wisdom and advice...I was a better student because of him.
More importantly, his friendship will always be cherished.

Thank you, Tim, for reminding me of one of my favorite Mr. Wiggins' quotes...
"Tell the truth and shame the devil!"

Rest in...

Al, used to sing with the Jazz Band at WCU about 30 years ago. He was terrific. He was inspiring and he was a positive influence to those of us less talented. What a powerful effect he had on the people around him. All this time later, I remember him well and fondly. RIP. Christ was there to greet you on the other side. Be well till we meet again.

My Deepest Condolences to the family. I met Mr. Wiggins in Doentown Jeffersonville as he was thinking about opening a production company next door to my hair salon, a very nice gentleman I had of coarse seen him on film but had no idea, until he told me he was from and Loved Jeffersonville. A very talented, bright, and good hearted person. R.I.P. Mr. Wiggins Gone but never Forgotten.

I met Al Wiggins as a Radio/TV student at Western Carolina University, and I just want to say:Thanks for the wonderful stories of your traveling days and for being a wonderful educator.
Tell the truth and shame the devil!
