Not sure what to say?

Enjoyed spending time with this intelligent and interesting man. We had a mutual respect for each other. I knew his time would be cut short on this earth but he knows that he has a great family that loves and misses him.

Gail, Gwen and I don't remember Michael. It's been a long time since Glasgow. But we do remember you and George and what a nice family you were. We are sorry to hear of your loss. May God be with you and your family. We know you have many fond memories to carry you through troubled times. Bill and Gwen Hall.

My deepest sympathies to the Biggerstaff family. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this time of loss.

When you never admit there are some things you dont...

Mr. Biggerstaff was one of a kind. His legacy will live on in each and everyone that he trainned and developed to the next level. The stories will live on for ever.

Mr. Biggerstaff would stand at the service and yell about something, we could hear him at the back of the building, The pharmacy one will be famous forever. But I must say my favorite is the one about one of his new,young assistant that he hand picked falling asleep at his O.C. meeting( Yes we had these before now) all I...

To Michelle - regarding your story about the cigar box cash register. I was the photographer for that scheme. Your Dad got an angry call from the VP asking if we really were using the cigar box - but a few days later the new registers showed up!! He usually got what he...
