I just heard of the passing of "Ziggy".
I met Ziggy while working at JJC bookstore. Ziggy always had a story or joke to help keep everyones day brighter. Please now that he will be missed by many. May his memory be eternal.

Brett and Family,

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Good Ol' Ziggy-back when New Lenox was small, the police knew everyone, and everyone knew the police, and New Lenox was just a small, friendly place. I miss those days. I especially remember seeing him at Sherwood Inn having his coffee when my mom would take us girls out to eat-he always had a smile and conversation for us. God Bless and comfort you. Lisa (Heddins) Kuehni

i was saddened to learn of your loss. I will always remember Ziggy's sense of humor and his day-brightening smile. He would stop in Admissions to share some news or just to say "hi". May all your wonderful memories of Ziggy give you strength during this time of sorrow. God Bless your family and give you peace.

Sorry Ron passed away. I knew him at JJC. He was a friendly person. He gave me an Indian head penny, after I told him I never could find one. May God bless you. Grady Shipp

I met Ziggy while attending JJC. However, he had been a friend of my fathers (Harlyn Tank) for much longer. Ziggy was quite a character, but in a good way. I am so sorry for your loss.
