Ziggy was creative in so many ways. He was bright, artistic, a great cook(made the best curry chicken) dancer, loved music and people. He was one of a kind and I was sad to hear that my old friend is not on the planet anymore. I only hope that he did not suffer before he died. I will never forget you! Love, romi
