The world lost this handsome devil today.
Born in 1921 Ken was more American than a Norman Rockwell painting. As an army stenographer he invaded Italy with a mechanical typewriter. He and his late wife Marie shouldered much of the blame for the baby boom with 8 children, 39 grandchildren, and approximately 70 great-grandchildren (I've lost count).
It was a good run, with baseball games, tennis matches, canoe trips, Automobile manufacturing (GM), sailing, camping, building everything from bunk-beds to house for his children, and of course daily mass and trips to Big Boy for brunch.
Drop an olive in your gin and raise a glass to Grandpa Wigton.
