To the entire Briggs Family,
What more can you ask for? He had a wonderful, LONG life, and a WONDERFUL FAMILY. I was his neighbor for many years, and we had a lot of talks over the years over the PATS. Mr. Briggs was an incredible man. He drove a car well into his 90's, and was fiercely independent as well. I am grateful that I knew him, and he will be missed. Please Keep him in your HEARTS FOREVER, I know I will. I am so sorry for your loss!!
