Sorry to hear of Bill’s passing. He was a kind and wonderful man. Loved to hear his stories. My condolences to his family. So long, Bill Ziegler. You will be missed.
So sorry to see the passing of another “fixture” of St. John’s- it will be strange not to see him at church. God Bless and comfort you all.
We are so sorry to hear of Bill’s passing. We have wonderful memories from long ago of a summer when Bill rode his horse over for an evening visit and will always cherish those times. A wonderful man who touched many lives.
