I was sorry to hear of the death of Elbert Pigg. I was the newpaper editor in Smithville 1982-2000, and lived in the area. I always enjoyed his pleasant humor and kind disposition, and enjoyed following the progress of his family, wife Nancy and Terry, Trevor and Tara. Elbert was a hard worker at his business and a good person.
