My thoughts and prayers go out to the entire Zeigler Family and extended families. Working at Zeiglers for 8 years was truly the best experience of my life especially fond memories when ever Paul brought apples in from Lititz. May God keep you all strong with his wings of love.

The Zeigler clan has shown us what family is all about. Your strength, courage, focus, love and reaching out to others helps us all to put life into its proper perspective. Thank you. Paul, may the Lord thy God open your eyes with a smile as He welcomes you into his kingdom forever. Not sure He likes apple cider though, but I'm sure your dad has already taken care of that..... from the old neighborhood,

With heavy heart we learn of Paul's passing. Our times with him have been few -- but they are treasured memories of philosophies shared in the Finland peach orchard. God will welcome and bless him. Our deepest sympathies to Gloria, children and our cousins.
