Joanna and family,
Although it has been a couple of years since I last actually met with Jiggy, He was always my friend. After moving to this area in the early eightys, we meet and did some fishing, played some golf with our very poor skills, did a little work together for a few years and then just sort of got busy in our own directions. We would stay in touch every now and then but always stayed friends and we knew we could count on each other if needed. Joanna, I just discovered that Jiggy was gone and missed the chance to see you and your family in person but I know Jiggy would have laughed about me and how I was always wide open and running a little late. I will miss him and the other friends that seam to be appearing like this to me more and more these days. Jiggy and I are about the same age and we had similar up-bringing's and we shared a special understanding of where we came from and how we appraoched life in general. Jiggy, I am so sad and regret not bringing the last piece of mail like I said I would just a few weeks ago. I'll never forget having my first computer experiences with you and how much fun we had poking fun at each other and laughing at our complete lack of knowledge and "compooter" skills as you called them. We would set there with you at the key board while I would read the instruction and tell you which button to "mash" and you called it. Those were good times and even though at the time, we were attempting to earn a living, we had fun and lots of it. I can honestly say that during the 30 some years that I have known Jiggy, we never raised a voice to one another or never had a major dissagreement between us. Jiggy. I just know you are hearing this. I love you and miss you. If there is another place to exist when we leave this Earth, I know that we will see each other again. I know a lot of people but only a small part of those people were special and Jiggy, you are among the special ones. You will be missed, Tom Barnett and leslie. North Myrtle Beach

Dear Family,
Keep your memories close to your heart as the days pass; you will find much joy in them. Jiggy always had a way to make me laugh and feel special. Know that you are in the hearts and prayers of many today and in the days ahead.
