JAMES McCREA BIGGAR

Everyone knows of Mr. Biggar's prowess in business, but the memories that mean the most to me are of his humor and kindness. One year, on some holiday, we had a party at our house. I was 12 or 13 and learning to wrestle, and Mr. Biggar had been an excellent wrestler in his day.

James Biggar family I didn't know him as a 5th grader in Cleveland Public Schools but now as a adult and reading his obituary and how kind he was I feel like I knew him since 5th grade when some of us children were taken to the Top of the Town Restaurant for lunch and I was so excited it was as kind in that restaurant for us as he was Humble isn't it a wonderful emotion too remember kindness and Mr.Biggar was a part of that...I remember..sorry for your loss family God be with you...

Had hoped to attend the celebration of life, but will not be able. I respected Jim's management style, especially the passion and enthusiasm he brought to the products we were developing and making, and the family feel of the business.

My condolences to the whole family. I just heard of Jim's passing. He was a true leader with great vision. He was also a friend and mentor to me any many others. He will be greatly missed--the world could use a million more like him! Rest in peace, Jim. Julie Buchagen

Jim always had a smile, a twinkle in his eye, and time to listen to everyone. He was a great friend, father figure, and role model to our family and will truly be missed. My love and condolences to all the Biggar family.

With the fondest of memories for Mr. Biggar. He was a great man.
