Condolences & Memories (2 entries)

  • John and I would like to offer our deepest condolences to Ziggy's family. Ziggy was an intelligent, honest and kind man. It was our privilege to know him and do business with him. We hope that his family will find peace and comfort and know that we are thinking of you. Rest in peace. John & Eileen Krahn - Posted by: Eileen & John Krahn (Friend) on: Jul 30, 2024

  • I am deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Siegfried. I worked for Ziggy back in the early 90's when he owned Charleswood Small Car Services. He was very kind and generous with me and was the most honest mechanic I'd ever met. We spent a lot of time together back then and he taught me a lot about cars and what it took to run a successful business- hard work, dedication, customer service and to never cut corners. In many ways, his entrepreneurship inspired my own endeavors and I look back with great fondness and appreciation for the time we shared together. Always dedicated to his wife and children, Ziggy will surely be missed by all who knew and loved him. Auf Wiedersehen, old friend. - Posted by: Bruce K (Friend) on: Jul 27, 2024
