Well, Ligon was great, in so many ways. His genius was, among other things, a function of his great ability to observe and understand people, to listen and to design brilliantly, closely related to that capacity to listen. Ligon was one of our very favorite people. We loved him and will miss him.
Haynes and Ginger Griffin, for whom Ligon designed a home on Figure 8 Island beginning in 1988.

The news of Ligon's passing is a great sorrow to all of us. I worked with him on many glulam beam projects - many are shown on the wall of his office. May I add my sincere sympathy to his family and countless friends.

I did not know him well, but my mother and father (Walser & Joanne Allen) were close friends of Ligon and his wife Susan, and I'm certain that he will be missed by all who knew him. Our thought and prayers are with his family.

Ligon showed me that curiosity, passion, and opinion can be a part of your life each day, whatever your age or circumstance.

It's been twenty seven years since I worked for Ligon and every time I use a black Flair pen, which is most every day, I think of Ligon. That's how he thought, with pen in hand...teaching us to constantly try to make some "magic" or "give it some jazz" where we could.
Ironically, he always maintained there's "nothing magic" about our tasks...just figure it out with a Flair and endless overlay sketches.
Thanks Ligon, that was the best lesson in Architecture I ever had.

A gifted architect with a strong design philosophy, Ligon was a man of few words, but those words were well worth listening to.
