Dear Ann Marie,Sincere condolences on the recent passing of your wonderful husband. You wrote a very moving obituary. The part where you said that he was freed from his wheelchair was very touching.He will be missed by many.Eileen and Mike Lieber
Dear Anne Marie:Please accept our deepest sympathy over the loss of your beloved husband. He was an inspiration to me every time I saw him and had the opportunity to talk with him, as I'm sure he was for so many. He will be greatly missed, but he is dancing with the angels right now. Blessings to you and to your family. Sending love and hugs. Elaine Longer
Dear Kathleen and Michael,Shirley let me know of this sad news. I regret I didn't read the message in time to attend the service. I felt your sadness as I lost mine a few months ago. Be strong for your mom in the time of sorrow.
Dear Anne Marie,I am so grateful that I was able to visit with you and Kathleen for a few minutes last night. When I came to the U of A in 2005 Joe became a friend and role model for me. He had a vision for enhancing the education of our students outside the classroom as well as in it, and because faculty and staff across the campus had complete trust in him many were happy to help him realize that vision. Joe's impact on the campus lives on, and I am glad to have known him.Bob McMath
What a wonderful man has been lost. Many fine memories of spending evenings eating Polish food and trying to do the polka.Kathy Malstrom
Our deepest appreciation for Dr. Ziegler's friendship with our daughter Jenise as she struggled with life in a wheelchair. We have fond memories of your last visit here in Jenise's house...a remarkable man.jim and jean huffman
Not Doctor Z, not Joe, just Joseph, our cousin who we remember making model airplanes with his brother Norbert on Honore Street in Chicago in the 1950's. Their bedroom, so tiny, yet big enough to hold all the wooden pieces and all the tubes of glue, was their "Man Cave". To see the word "memorial" and Joseph's name encased in black is heart wrenching. To see the photos of Joseph's adult life is a reminder of how little we knew him as an adult and how much we cherish him and remember him as our little cousin.To Joseph..... we send you up and away with young, tender memories.Your cousinsDiane LaPortaNancy Jacobs
My deepest sympathy to the whole family. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
I'm going to miss you Dr. Z you were a good man and a kind person.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you in this difficult time.
