John H. “Jack” Wigglesworth, age 79, a retired Natick firefighter
and twenty-year veteran of the US Marine Corps, died Wednesday
afternoon, November 28, 2012. He had been the devoted husband of
Elizabeth A. “Betty” (Higgins) Wigglesworth for the past fifteen
years.
<div>
</div><div>Born in Natick on December 14, 1932, he was the last surviving
son of the late Frank D. and Louise (Strearns) Wigglesworth. Jack
attended Natick High School prior to entering the United States
Marine Corps in 1949. The Corps was to be his life for the next
twenty years.
</div><div>
</div><div>Jack married the former Janice Yates in July of 1956 and in the
coming years made their home wherever Jack’s career led them. Their
eldest child was born in Alaska, and he was followed by four more
all born in the lower 48. Jack served actively in both Korea and
Vietnam during their respective wars as a gunnery sergeant. He
retired from the Marine Corps in 1969, and returned to Natick with
his growing family. A year later he became a Natick firefighter like
his father before him. He enjoyed his service to the people of
Natick until his 1986 retirement. A few years later he grieved the
loss of his wife Janice after 35 years of marriage.
</div><div>
</div><div>A Corvair enthusiast, Jack had for many years enjoyed buying,
selling, restoring, repairing and showing the compact rear engine
vehicles at CORSA Club events all around the area. After
reconnecting with Betty, a former high school sweetheart, the couple
decided to marry. The couple decided to pack themselves and their
dogs into an RV and spent the next ten years canvassing the country.
Upon their return, Jack – who was known to many as either Honky or
Gunny - was somewhat of a homebody, enjoying his family and friends
and fixing things in his shop.
</div><div>
</div><div>In addition to Betty, he is survived by his children, John “Andy”
of Framingham, Lori Seastrand of Walpole, Carol of Hadley, Kathleen
Araya of Framingham, and Michael and his wife Beth of Bellingham; a
step-son, Christopher Maynard and his wife Lisa of TN; ten
grandchildren, Erica Brady of Walpole, Brianna and Gabriella of
Framingham, Emily Kubacki and Jackson Paul of Hadley, Matthew and
Joseph Seastrand of Walpole, Thomas of Bellingham, and Marissa and
A.J. of Belmont; and a large and caring extended family. He was also
the brother of the late Donald, Frank S. and Robert Wigglesworth.
</div><div>
</div><div>His funeral service will be held on Thursday, December 6th at
11:00a.m. in the John Everett & Sons Funeral Home, 4 Parks
Street at Natick Common, Natick, followed by burial at Dell Park
Cemetery. Visiting hours will be on Wednesday, 4 – 8p.m.
</div><div>
</div><div>Donations may be made in Jack’s memory to MetroWest Homecare
& Hospice, 85 Lincoln Street, Framingham 01702.
