No matter how you spin it, its all bad!
Its too bad that Ziggy won’t have the chance the wear out those new hips of his or break new ground with “bionic” eyes!
Its too bad that Madeline and Mitchell won’t have their grandfather around for graduations, proms, weddings, cookouts and camping.
Its too bad that Keith won’t have his Dad nearby for advise and argument.
Its too bad that Ziggy didn’t have a chance to retire even though he wouldn’t have.
Its too bad that Ziggy’s friends and family never got to say goodbye.
Its too bad that Ziggy’s wit and humor is all in the past tense now, though the brunt of it was always on us.
And most of all, it’s really, really too bad that Kathy now knows that forever doesn’t exist in this part of the universe anymore.
Its too bad, its too bad, its too bad.
I will miss Ziggyness is this world, terribly. Keith, those are big shoes!
Hart
And on a lighter note, about that La-Z-Boy chair of Ziggy’s. I remember not long after he got it (I think he said it was a two thousand dollar chair that he found on Craigs List.) “Hart” Ziggy says to me, “If I would have know how comfortable of a chair this was, I would have paid full price for it!” Of course, I knew that would not ever have been the case; who among us has ever seen Ziggy pay full price for anything! Then Ziggy says to me “Hart, really, sit in that chair, you will think you died and went to heaven……. Seriously, try it out!” As always, he was right!
On behalf of the Boiarski family. We extend our deepest sympathies. Camille
Kathy and Keith, so sorry for your loss. Keeping all,of you in my prayers.
