    August 12, 1932 - March 27, 2013

He served in the USAF for several years in Nagoya, Japan, attaining the rank of Captain.

Pigg and his beloved granddaughter, Madeline Rose Pigg, all of Tyler. He is also survived by his sister, Alline and husband, James L. Fyffe of Marshall; and several nieces and nephews.
