I worked with Jiggs and his Father for Roy Hooker many years ago, knew him over the years, and considered Jiggs a good friend. We would have been at the wake, but live too far away. He will always live on in my memory. You have our sympathy.

Jiggs was a beloved character who frequented our halls often with his matching tooth pick and beloved side kick, Dolly. We will miss his humor and sarcasm dearly as well as his Huck Finn's Bakers Dozen. He will always be a part of each one of us.

I have known Jigg's through my father for many years; he was a great man with an enormous heart, who loved his family. My favorite memory of Jigg's was the Southside Parade each year at Ken's; his smile could light up the room and his laugh shook the walls. He will be greatly missed by many. The Sexton Family's greatest sympathies go out to all of Jigg's family and all who loved him.
