Sending out my thoughts and prayers to Mr. Driggers wife and son, Linda and Bobby.
For those who don’t know, Wilbur and his wife Linda were the house in Colonial Pines that decorated every Christmas with the big “Christmas display house”. He called me in 2017 and asked if I still wanted it and I now display it every year in our yard.
I am forever grateful for the memories of driving by their house every year and hope he gets to enjoy the lights from above.
