To the family of Wiggs - It was my pleasure and honor to know your Dad. He was an incredible man! He was first a friend to my Dad, and later in life, and luckily for me... a friend to me. Please accept my deepest sympathy.

Tom, you are so missed. Spoke with "them" upstairs and told them how much you dislike carrots. I will miss your stories, and your quirkly little smile. Most of all I will miss you. To Tom's Children and Grandchildren He would always talk about you and how proud he was of all of you..
