A friend and I had purchased surplus parts from Mr Wiggington. Himself and his wife were very welcoming and nice folks. I'm glad to see that he was a believer and has been welcomed home with our Lord. I am sorry for the families loss at the same time.

Such an Awesome Man!!!! I could never repay him and Sweet Bessie for all they did for me and my family. I feel sure that there are others that could say the same thing. So happy to know that he is now with the "Love of his Life". RIP Elihu Jr. You are loved!

I'm sorry to hear of Jr.'s passing. I passed the shop about a week ago with a friend and told him about stopping in to see Jr. and buying ammo cans from him. I still have most of them. Now they'll be a reminder of my visits to Wigington's Shop.
