Obituary For James Rigsby

James Rigsby, 80, died peacefully in his sleep June 7 surrounded by love and memories of a life well lived. He was born in Rolla May 24, 1942, and was a lifelong barber and business owner in Oakville. He had one wicked sense of humor, loved motorcycles, shooting, hunting and fishing, storytelling and most importantly, pulling pranks on every single one of us! He lived his life to the fullest and taught us how not to take ourselves or life so seriously. Jim is survived by his beloved wife of 60 years, Nola Rigsby (nee Dillon) and a daughter who adored him, JaNola Rigsby (Mike Buchana).
