"Have thought of Wilbur often and now sorry to hear of his passing. Those who knew him have lost a great and loyal friend. I'll always remember him bowling! The ball looked like a large orange in his hands! May the memories he has left behind bring comfort to his family and loved ones."

"To the family of Wilbur Biggs. I enjoyed working with Wilbur in the mid-to-late 90's at the National Climatic Data Center. His booming voice made his presence known. He had a great sense of humor and always had a smile on his face. It was a pleasure to know him. Prayers to your family for peace and comfort as you mourn his passing. Requiescat in pace, Wilbur."
