Returned home from Funeral
We returned home today after attending the funeral Sunday evening.
If a measure of a man is indicated by the number who mourn his passing, then our friend "Biggs", had few peers.
The line of folks waiting to pay last respects to "Biggs", was over 100 long 30 minutes before viewing started at 1:30. It didn't get any shorter until the funeral service began at 5:45, 15 minutes late because of the number of people waiting to pay last respects. The church was packed, over 500 seated and who knows how many standing outside in the foyer. His beloved Harley was parked right outside the church, his riding jacket laid across the tank, a picture of him astride it on display next to his "Hog".
Biggs was known to sometimes drink hard, always worked hard, and usually played hard. But he was a big man who had a big heart with no equal.
Greg "Biggs" Biggar was a good guy!!!

No, I'm sure we'll find out more in time. We didn't want to press the question at that point. I was more concerned with trying to keep my emotions somewhat under control.
