                      Wednesday, February 9, 2022

  Mr. KELLY of Mississippi. Madam Speaker, I rise today to celebrate 
the life and accomplishments of Grady Wigginton, as he passed away on 
January 31, 2022.
  Mr. Wigginton was born just west of Guntown, MS on June 30, 1937. Mr. 
Wigginton was proud to grow up in rural Mississippi where he was able 
to learn about the nature and creatures of God's creation. After 
graduating from High school, Mr. Wigginton decided to join the USMC. In 
his time serving the country he achieved the great accomplishment of 
being promoted to the rank of Sergeant (E-4) in just twenty-two months. 
He believed in God first, Country second, and family third. We thank 
him for his commitment to service.
  After Mr. Wigginton's service to his country, he worked for CPI. At 
CPI he went on to become both a district and regional manager. He 
enjoyed hiring and working with new employees as he saw it was his 
responsibility to motivate them to do their jobs to the best of their 
ability. Due to his commitment to a hard-working staff, both his 
district and regional teams won multiple awards for sales and profit.
  Mr. Wigginton will be greatly missed, and we thank him for his 
service to his country and community.
