John and I grew up together. Some where along the line we went our separate ways. We were always family and as kids shared many memories and I feel a great loss at the news of his passing. His mom, Dora, had the best receipe for home made ice cream and we made it at most family gatherings. My deepest sympathy to all the family. John will be missed.

Valerie, sorry for your loss.

Mr. Wigglesworth was the epitome of what I believe it means to be a good person. He was kind, giving, self-less... and loved his family fiercely. You could feel the way he cared about you by his strong hugs and genuine smile. He always made me feel like part of his family, which was an honor and a gift. I will miss you, Mr. Wigglesworth... thank you everything over the years. And for my important lesson... always eat your peas!

My deepest sympathy in the loss of John. He was a great guy and exercised vigorously. I liked having him in my class. I know he was so looking forward to moving to Germany and I am so sorry this happened to end that journey. I will always be thinking of him in my prayers.

I grew up as close friends of the family. Mr Wigglesworth was always kind and welcoming us into their home. My deepest condolences to Mrs. Wigglesworth, Larissa, John and their families.

John was my next-door neighbor for thirty-two years. I am deeply saddened by his passing. What a better world this would be if there were more next-door neighbors and friends like John was to me. I shall miss him.
