A memorial for former Governor George Nigh was held at Crossings Community Church on Thursday morning. “Governor Nigh has simply moved from Oklahoma to heaven,” said Pastor Wendell Estep, Gov. Nigh’s pastor.

That is how former U.S. President Bill Clinton remembered his longtime friend during a eulogy at Nigh's memorial service on Thursday, Aug. 14. Nigh, one of Oklahoma's most prominent politicians of the 20th century, died July 30 at the age of 98.
