Not sure what to say?

He always found time for me--the lessons I learned in Troop 10 I have carried with me for my entire life. As a believer, I know we will meet again.

The Scouting and local communities lost a great person in Loren. There wasn't a better friend to all who had the priviledge of knowing hime. Even those that didn't know were touched by him through his generous and giving nature. God has gained a great servant at his side. He'll be sorely missed.

A dear friend who I enjoyed working with for 10 years at SNJ Council. He was a gentle, kind man and will be greatly missed. I will always remember you..... Mary Engelman

Bob and Paul and families. It was sad to see your dad passed. I remember when we were just little guys and had nice times at the Sharp.... house next to ours on Main St. You guys were nice children when we were young and your parents did a fine job. From the Fergusons I hope this time of reflection only brings about memories of wonderful times in your life with your dad. I pray that God leads you to peace in your hearts.

Loren was an important client who over the years became a friend. He was not only kind and generous, but would let nothing stand in the way of his passion and mission to guide young men into productive, and spiritual lives. Best memories of Loren would be golfing with him at his many fund raisers, and seeing the joy he felt in knowing his mission was being accomplished. Thanks Loren for setting the bar so high.

My deepest condolences to the Riggins family. Mr. Riggins was a great person. I remember when I was a kid playing tennis in his back yard with my brother in law Steve (lossing pretty bad) and then his dad came out to relieve Steve and I though it was going to be easier. Think again. Mr. Riggins beat the tar out of me. He is a great person and was kind to all.

Our deepest sympathies to the Riggins family. Loren was truly an exceptional man and good friend. We have many fond memories of time spent with Loren and Marge on the golf course, in Florida, at the Hideout, pinochle nights, dining out,the annual golf tournament, and just spending time together being good friends. He will be sorely missed. A man of few words, gentle and caring.
Love and peace,
Ed and Lynn Kelley

Has a young boy I remember Mr. Riggins and his father at the south Vineland Church. it was aspecial time for me . God Bless you patty and family.

My fondest memories of Loren are sharing an office with him as he diligently worked the phone hour after hour to arrange for volunteers to build his beloved Boy Scouts Headquarters. He was a kind and generous man and a true gentleman. I send my deepest condolences to his entire family.

Sincerely,
Esther Lind (a former employee)
