“Two members of the Allen Jay class of 1963 attended Coach Swiggett's memorial service. We were proud to know, learn from, and will never forget his dedication. Despite cold weather and snow on the ground, about 40 persons honored Jim. Rick Morris and Jerry Cecil of AJ were grateful to meet Tim, Ann, Shirley, Larry, and all his beloved family. In addition to the teams mentioned in the obit, would like to note that he coached the AJ 1962-63 basketball team to the NC Final Four. Thank you, Jim”
