Willard R. "Bill" Wigfield, III, age 50, of 403 North High Street, Port Washington, Ohio, died early Sunday morning October 21, 2012 from injuries received in a motor vehicle accident.
He was currently employed as a maintenance and machine set-up man for Zhongding USA, Inc. at Strasburg, where he had been employed for 12 years.
