I would like to express my condolences to the family of Monsignor Tiggeman and assure them of my prayers for him and those who loved and cared for him. He was a kind and gentle man and a faithful and dedicated priest. His support for me in the early days of my working with him was most appreciated.
Deepest sympathy to Mary and all the families on the death of Fr. Vin. Remembered for his service to all.
Dear Mary, my prayers and thoughts are with you. May dear Mons. Vincent rest in peace. Love Joan Moriarty
To the family, clergy and friends of Monsignor Tiggeman, please accept my deepest sympathies and know that my prayers are with you now and always. May God heal you in His infinite graces and bless you with His love. It was a pleasure to work with Monsignor and be a part of his Tribunal team.
I was made a judge in 1976 at the same time the new tribunal came about with Mons Tiggemann in charge. He was always a kind and gentle soul and easy to work with. He often had racing tips for me so I could call into Gawler or Balaklava on the way home. One of them magpie a perfect fourtrella. He will always be remembered as the priest who officiated at more marriages than anyone else in the Archdiocese. Sorry my hip, spine and knee operations prevented me from being at the funeral. Fr Kevin Matthews
