Wayne G. Ziegler

I was so fortunate to know Wayne and work with him on those Confirmation classes and retreats. A great sense of humor. My deepest sympathy to all of you. I know he will be missed.

I met Wayne through the Kairos TEC retreats and I am forever grateful that I did. He was so filled with joy and it was infectious. I fondly recall his packing of many extra shirts for the 3-day weekends and carrying around a handkerchief to mop the sweat off his forehead. Wayne was such a kind man. When my first child was born and was in the NICU, Wayne came and treated me to a nice lunch so that I could get out of the hospital for a short time. He often would stop by unexpectedly while on one of his many road-trips around the state visiting people. Every Christmas I would look forward to receiving my Christmas card from him...always careful, after the first time, how I opened it, since they were always filled with holiday confetti. And inside was also a beautiful handwritten note reminding me that I was in his prayers and a fond memory from him. I regret not reaching out to him in the last few years when the cards stopped coming. I always said 'soon' ... and now 'soon' is too late. I am glad that Wayne and Ethel are together again because the love he had for her was inspirational, and I will keep Wayne's family in my prayers...as he did for me for so many years.

Blessings to his family! I also met Wayne at TEC... he truly embodied the Christian faith and joyously embraced each person into the Catholic community! He made each person feel so very special... I have cards from Wayne with sparkles inside! Such a special and loving man- may God Rest his soul.

I met Wayne through TEC. He was a wonderful and funny man and will be missed very much. May God's perpetual light shine upon him. God Bless his family. Ann Timmerman-Fincutter

I am so sorry to hear of Wayne's passing. He was such a good neighbor to us. Always friendly and always an interesting conversationalist. And so proud of his children and grandchildren. I know he will be missed.
