North Carolina - Robert Giggey, 76, died on Sunday, November 7, at Huntington Commons in Kennebunk, Maine. Born in Frankfurt, Germany in 1947, Bob grew up on military bases across the country.

He completed his training at Howard University and became one of the first physician assistants in the state of Maine.

He loved golfing, flying, and spending time at the family cottage on Great Diamond Island in Portland. Most of all, he loved to share experiences with his family and friends. Bob is preceded in death by his parents, Fred and Mary (Meissner) Giggey; and sister, Carolyn. He is survived by his wife, Evangeline; his girls, Kate (Scott), Abby (Jacob), and Annie (Michael); and grandchildren Logan, Caraline, Amelia, Eva, Atticus, and Owen.
