Condolence From: Shinzan Murray
Condolence: I can't believe it's been almost 10 years (2011) since I was sitting in Mr. Viggers class in the first grade learning about syllables on the very first day. He's amazing way of teaching that brought the whole class together, and the endless times we would have class talk parties. I can't thank him enough for the awesome experiences he gave me during my first grade. I still remember watching the movie "A Little Princess" on one of our last days at W.J Watson. I still watch that movie to this day. And the memory of this amazing teacher is always with me.
I can't thank him enough for the amazingness he shared with all the students at W.J Watson.
Now, looking back at his wonderful and short life he had, I see him in his wonderful children and the students he taught.
The memories I shared will always be in my heart for the rest of my life. I can't thank him enough for making my journey through my first year an absolute joy.
In the memory of an amazing teacher,
Mr. Viggers

Condolence: Jessica, Isabella, Mary, Annie, Ashton, Presley and Allison my prayers and thoughts are with you at such a difficult time. Mr. Viggers I will never forget the many hallway conversations we have had over the years. Walking into Watson just won't feel the same with you not there. Thank you for always stopping to say "Hi" even if we were just passing by each other in the halls, it truly made a difference.

Condolence: Jessica, Isabella, Mary, Annie, Ashton, Presley and Allison. From my family to yours, our deepest sympathy at this terrible loss.
Rob and I met on kijiji when I bought some comics from him and we became good friends from there on and I miss him dearly.
I miss our talks about work, comics and life and I know he will be missed by many, many others for similar reasons.
Jessica, my family will continue to pray for your whole family for strength in this sad time and for a peace, knowing Rob is in heaven watching over you all.
May God comfort you and give you peace.

Condolence: Mr Viggers was my first teacher, he was my favourite teacher in the whole world. I remember he tore a staple out of my thumb for me after I stapled it. All I really want to say was goodbye we all will miss you!!! I remember on the christmas concert when i was the grinch he told me that not be afraid and just do it.

Condolence: Our Sincerest Condolences. Our family was very fortunate to have meet Mr. Viggers on many occasions at WJ Watson School and around town. He was our son Chris's teacher and he was more than a good teacher, he was an extraordinary teacher and person! The minute we meet him, we all felt at complete ease and he treated us wonderfully! He made us all feel included in every aspect of our sons education, despite the difficulties that can come with being a blended family. He was friendly, fair, kind, caring, thoughtful, funny and genuine! There's not enough great words to express the exceptional person he was. It was bitter sweet when our son passed his grade. We were extremely happy our son passed but we were all somewhat sad to leave such an amazing teacher and person! After our son had passed his grade, we continued to go back and visit with Mr. Viggers at ever opportunity over many years. My husband, myself and family always enjoyed running into him in town. He spoke proudly of his family, his lovely wife and precious children. He will be thought of in the highest of regards by all! He will be sadly missed but his amazing legacy will live on with his wonderful family/children and the countless students he inspired with his exceptional teaching and genuine heart! You're in our thoughts and prayers and if there is anything we can do, please let us know. Our sincerest, deepest condolences. God Bless...
