Pete was a special, caring and loving person. He enjoyed sitting on the porch drinking coffee and watching the birds, riding his motorcycle,
traveling and visiting different locations. He loved the little town of Mt. Airey in NC, which everyone calls Mayberry. The one thing he enjoyed
the most was going to Ohio in the Spring and doing walleye fishing. Pete really didn’t fish, he just enjoyed being on the boat and spending
time with family.
There will be no public viewing at this time. The family will have a Celebration of Life Service at a later time.
The family asks that donations be made to the American Heart Association or the American Cancer Society, in memory of Boyd “Pete” Wigfield.
