We are so sorry to hear about Jiggs. He was such a sweet person. We will always remember him serving popcorn at the hospital and having fun at Eastern Star meetings. God bless. Our prayers are with the family.

The little time Jiggs and I had to spend together was such pleasant times. I know that all is well with him now. My prayers are that God will be holding Mildred, his children and grandchildren in his all encompassing arms - - there is room for all. Please accept the sincere condolence of Mother,
Virgie Paroline, and I. Yvonne Dower

I can still see Jigs driving up in his old pick up, coming from work at the plant, when I was just a little girl. He always waved and said hello to me. Such a nice man and a valiant hero. I love you all and will be thinking of you at this time. God bless you.
