I was in Army basic training in the late 70's at Ft Jackson in Charleston with Ziggy. I tried to look him up and came across this. When I saw the picture I knew it was him. He was such a great guy and he helped me out several times. Gone way too soon.

Your first heavenly birthday with mama and Richie. How you all must be celebrating. We celebrated your life this morning by having breakfast, talking about you and going to mass at St. Jude's Center. You are always in our hearts. Loved very much and missed more than words can say....

it's been 10 years since your passing. It's been an awful year for us losing mama in April, and then just 18 days later losing Richie. Having to clean out mama's apartment by the end of June even though Richie said to take our time because he couldn't help. going through all the things in the house brought back so many memories of times gone by, made me cry. Lots of happy memories of you, mama, Richie and Tata. miss you every day .... love you all
