Ralph F. Ziegler

For some reason Ralph has been on my mind recently. Today I was saddened to read his obituary on MYSA.com. He and Norma were our neighbors in San Antonio -- probably the best neighbors we could have! We lost touch after moving away from Texas, but they remain in our hearts.
Sincere condolences from the Skiles family!

I lost touch with Ralph and missed hearing from him. Cousin, Jackie Ziegler Hebner

Ralph grew up a few blocks from me and all in the neighborhood got to play often. I them lived closer to his parents when I had my own home. A great family. My sympathy to his family. Dorothy Ablett Hacker

Dr Ziegler was a fine officer and gentleman in the USAF.
My condolences to the family!

Doug & Amy, Dave & Debbie, our condolences and prayers are with you. Ralph was a special cousin to Joan and I, we attended High School with Ralph and I was in the same graduating class. Ralph had a nickname of "CARP". This tag was applied after a fishing expedition on the Kaskaskia River in New Athens, with cousin, Allen Analla and I. We caught a washtub full of carp. Ralph insisted we clean them and have a fish fry. Aunt Minnie & Uncle Emil consented and it happened, the name too! With Love, Joan Portman Fishbein & Bill Portman

Thinking about Uncle Ralph and remembering all family in prayer.

Norma was my office mate, colleague, and friend at San Antonio College. She and Ralph were wonderful people. I had no idea he was still in San Antonio. We moved some years ago. I wish we had kept in better touch. My condolences to the entire family.

Doug & Amy, Dave & Deb...So sorry for the loss of your Dad. Our thoughts & prayers are with you & your families. May God Bless!

Ralph & I spent a lot of time together when we were growing up so I always felt a special bond with him. Memories include Sundays at Aunt Bertha & Uncle Jake Portmans' house when all our families came together. Summer vacations staying at their house with Ralph, Joan (Portman) Fishbein, Bill Portman & my brother, Allen Analla.

The boys always went fishing with grandpa Schemelzel & even though they didn't catch a lot of fish, they were happy. We had a great childhood, no Ipads, No TV, & No cell phones! So the memories last forever....Rest in peace, Ralph, you are loved.

My sympathy in your grief on Ralphs passing .Hewas a great guy for all the years I knew him . Best Wishes to all related to him Don Mueller ,New Athens, IL.
