-

William Glen Wiggins, 78, of Moose Jaw, SK passed away on December 2, 2018 surrounded by much of his family. He was born near Manor, SK to Art and Mona (Kyle) Wiggins and was raised on a farm without electricit­y or plumbing. He grew up riding his horse to Manor school, doing his share of chores, and enjoying life on the prairie. With adventure on his mind, Glen joined the RCAF at the age of 17. He worked as an Airframe Technician on a variety of aircraft and was stationed in Ottawa, Marville France, Lahr Germany, Trenton and Moose Jaw. He most enjoyed the camaraderi­e of his fellow Air Force personnel and participat­ed in volleyball and hockey throughout his career. The Air Force also offered him the opportunit­y to meet his wife of 55 years, Vicki (Eidsforth) while stationed at RCAF Uplands Ottawa. Glen will be remembered for his wit, love of family, and his creative flair. If he wasn’t playing with a grandchild, he’d also be tinkering in his workshop, building another model airplane, or recycling scraps to make some delightful object. Not only that, he was an excellent ping pong and foosball player who consistent­ly left younger players dumbfounde­d at his skill. Glen was preceded in death by his parents, sister Shirley and brother Dale. He will be lovingly remembered by his wife, Vicki and his children Michael (Lisa) and Shirley (Kelly). Glen leaves behind eight grandchild­ren, Tenia (Sean), Christian (Desiree), Kylie, Ryland, Logan, Cameron, Grace and Emma. He will also be missed by his great-grandson James, his brother Ken (Chris), sister-in-law Gaye and brother-in-law Bernie (Mary), and numerous nieces and nephews.
