Not sure what to say?

You are missed and often spoken of at the field, RIP My Friend.

I miss you Ziggy.

I cannot believe its been three years already. Ive so missed my chats with Ziggy, one of the finest men Ive had the honor to have known in my life. God bless you Ziggy, you are sorely missed by those of us who knew you here on this earth.

Ziggy, I just found out about your passing. Even though I haadn't flown R/C airplanes in 15 years, you called me several times a year just to shoot the breeze. And I always enjoyed your WW II stories!

I always enjoyed talking to Ziggy at the flying field. He was most sincere in everything he said and had sound judgment in his beliefs. I loved hearing his war stories. A brave man, a family man. a true American. Rest in Peace.

I offer you all prayer of peace now that Ziggy has gone to be with his beloved Helen, I know he is at peace. Ziggy was a hero to me, an ordinary man who did extra ordinary things.

I so enjoyed my talks with him this last year or so, they were inspiring. I've known Ziggy since the 80's and I...

Frank,
My prayers and thoughts are with you as you go through this very painful phase of your life. May having your loved ones nearby and fond memories of your dad soften his passing.

Zigmond, You will be missed by your flying family but never forgotten.
Rest in piece my friend.
