Sad to report the passing of our legendary track coach. Nothing in newspapers yet, but found this on Facebook. He was such an influence on boys he coached. If you share your tributes here, we'll pass them on to the family when an obit comes out later.

Walk is next Sat. Nov. 22. Randy has started a fb event page for this, and hopefully more will appear in newspapers etc.Randy Adler Silent Lap to honor Coach Jim Wigger

Randy Adler is with Jonathan Walker and

6 others at Alton High School. Today, I was informed of the passing of a true Hall of Famer. Legendary Coach Jim Wigger passed away last Wednesday surrounded by loved ones. I have confirmed that the family is planning a memorial service, likely to take place in the spring in Alton. I am considering organizing a memorial and silent walk around the James Wigger Track at the public school stadium, pending interest from others. Further details will be provided once finalized. Rest in peace Coach, we’ll take the baton from here.

Obit his kids put on church fb page. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1AavQ7jbUg/

Silent lap to honor Coach Wigger at 3 p.m. today Nov. 22, at the stadium named after him. After the walk, some will stop at Johnson's Corner bar/restaurant on State St. If anyone goes, hope they will share info/pics.
