Lorene,
Jiggs was the best friend that anyone could ever hope to have. We spent so many good times together Spike, Bo-bo, KC, and Sammy were always a joy. (Except when we would have to go back and get them after leaving them in the woods). Grading the road at 2 in the morning, exploring the roads around Ruth. The Dune Buggies, with little Jerry asleep in the back. The weekends with John and Jerry with us from the time they could walk. Cutting wood, in the snow, in the rain, sitting on...

Lorene Provence & Family -
My sincere condolences. I had to write because I remember when I built Jiggs’ garage. Mid-January, temperature about 30 degrees. We were pouring a concrete floor and apron.

About 9:00 pm, Jiggs brought out another bottle and I don’t remember much after that....

Dear Provence Family, My deepest sympathies to you all. Jiggs was such a happy, fun loving man. We met for the first time at my sisters home (Mary Lee Provence). He always had a smile on his face and a dance in his step. I wish our time spent together had been longer. I will miss you. God Bless, Wava Armatha, (Mary Lorene's daughter).
