Our deepest condolences to the entire family. Pan Ziggy was a good dear friend to our Tatus. Pan Ziggy introduced our family to the Adams Friendship area which resulted in our parents retiring in the area and opening a Polish Deli. We had also purchased recreational land and are proud to call Adams our second
home for 21 years. I always made the effort to thank Pan Ziggy when my
husband and I saw him for bringing us to the area. He will be missed and we
will cherish our memories of him.
Deepest Sympathies to the family and friends. Ziggy was a stand up guy 🙂
Ziggy was such a wonderful man. I sold him a home many many years ago, and I will always remember him. such a great guy. my sincere condolences to his family and friends
Terry, So sorry to read about your dad’s passing. I just seen him last week coming into the hospital because he always talked to me even after all these years. He was a great fellow.
I’m so sorry to hear about Ziggy’s passing. I waited on him at the bank many years ago and he still remembered me and my family every time I saw him. He will be missed!
