The Ziegle family is sorry to hear of Ian's death. We got to know him because his parents lived next to us on 6th St. and Maureen was our babysitter. When Wilfred & Pauline moved to another home on 6th St., Ian and his first wife, Flo, moved in & became our neighbors. My mom babysat their son Ryan. And Ian & my dad coached my brother's Little League team for several season's together. We have fond memories of Ian and are so sorry for your loss
