H. Joe Zeigler

Dear Judy, Mike and family, I was heartbroken when I learned that Joe had passed. Ken came down on his Gator and I knew in my heart that life on the farm had forever changed. Joe and Doris were lifelong extensions to our own family, as I remember spending hours at the house on the corner or they would hang out at our house. We got Koolaid popsicles and homemade brownies; escorts to Pickings Pond and our choice of treats at Halloween. We went on hayrides and the famous trash "pick-up...

My heart, thoughts, prayers and sincere sympathy go out to the entire Zeigler family. Joe was an amazing and hardworking man and I feel blessed to have known him. Our families started out as neighbors way back in 1964 and we grew to be friends very quickly. I still remember going up and getting fresh eggs from Joe and Doris on a weekly basis years ago. Joe would always ask how we were doing, what was new and genuinely cared about our family (and vice versa). He had a quick smile, a big, warm...

So sorry for your loss. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family. We were friends for 55 years. He taught us how to farm, grow crops, raise cows,pigs, and chickens.

We have alot of memories of butchering at Joe's. Mike brought Joe to visit us on a regular basis for coffee and sweets. We will miss his visits. He will sadly be missed, but, we know he is now...

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

He would hop off the tractor and help when the stones were too big to throw on the wagon. One time we were picking corn out of the field. He put the tractor on slow motion and got off to help us kids and help throw the bushel basket on the wagon. Except one time the damn John Deere tractor decided to jump out of gear and it was going down a hill. Joe tore after that tractor...
