Dee Wigrizer, beloved father of Steven G.
Wigrizer and Fay Adams; adoring grandfath-
er of Justin, Michael, David, Danny, Jennie
and Shari; great grandfather to Hunter and
Jacob; a friend to many, and example to all,
died peacefully February 24, 2018 at the age
of 90, in the company of his family at his
home in the Hopkinson House in Phil-
adelphia. Mr. Wigrizer was born in Lawrence,
Massachusetts to Morris and Jennie
Wigrizer, both of whom narrowly escaped the
pogroms in the Ukraine and Soviet Russia.
Growing up, he attended Arlington element-
ary school in Lawrence, Chauncy Hall Prep,
and Northeastern College. In 1950, he gradu-
ated cum laude from Boston University
School of Law. In 1951, he married to De-
vora (Dee) Anne Gordon of Nashua, New
Hampshire, who he met while she was a stu-
dent at Wellesley College. They lived togeth-
er with their family in Philadelphia up until
the time of her death in 2015. Following
graduation, Mr. Wigrizer practiced law in
Lawrence, Massachusetts until 1953, when
he accepted a position as staff attorney with
the IRS in Philadelphia. Over the coming
years, Mr. Wigrizer quickly moved up the
ranks, taking on increasing responsibilities,
culminating in his appointment as Regional
Counsel for the Mid-Atlantic Division. There-
after, he was promoted to national positions
in Revenue, serving as Director of the Crimin-
al Tax Division and Deputy Chief Counsel.
During his career with Revenue, he was in-
volved in many high profile cases, including
the prosecution of Congressman Edward
Gallagher of New Jersey. In addition, in he
was given sole responsibility for the investig-
ation into the propriety of then-President Nix-
on’s tax filings. In 1978, he became the
Treasury Department’s first Inspector Gener-
al under Michael Blumenthal and William
Miller in the Carter administration. He organ-
ized the office, formulated policies and pro-
cedures, and significantly impacted the De-
partment’s Integrity Programs. He worked
on highly sensitive matters, and testified be-
fore Congressional subcommittees. He also
took part in an investigation of family mem-
bers of high ranking elected officials. He re-
tired with the change of administrations in
1981. Following nearly thirty years of service
in federal government, in 1985 Mr. Wigrizer
was appointed the City of Philadelphia’s first
Inspector General by Mayor Wilson Goode,
following a national search. He was charged
with eliminating fraud, waste, abuse and cor-
ruption. Working with law enforcement, he
prosecuted a number of cases on the City’s
behalf. During his tenure, he was respons-
ible for nearly 400 corruption arrests and ad-
ministrative job actions. When the adminis-
tration changed, he became Commissioner of
Licenses and Inspections for several months,
during which time he initiated a number of
successful prosecutions of corrupt inspect-
ors. In 1991 he was appointed as SEPTA’s
first Inspector General, where he remained
until his retirement in 1997. Following his
long and distinguished career in government,
Mr. Wigrizer was a frequent speaker and con-
tributor on government ethics and integrity,
always emphasizing the fact that the vast ma-
jority of government employees were decent
and honorable men and woman, devoted to
public service. During his lifetime, he was an
accomplished amateur photographer, who
exhibited his works world- wide, and was a
frequent lecturer on advanced and novel pho-
tographic techniques. He also developed an
interest in computers in the early days of
their development, and was a contributor to
various computer magazines. His intellectual
curiosity was always a part of his personality,
and drove him to excel in all he did. Contribu-
tions may be made to Historic Congregation
