Always enjoyed coming over to Ziggy's to mow his and Gertrude's lawn. He was always quick with a joke and much too generous with tips. You could always count on him to show up to the street party, and his beer can collection in his garage was impressive to say the least. A great person, he will be sorely missed by the neighborhood and by me.
