An obituary detailing the life and death of William Ziegler is colorful and true to self. The obituary talks about those that he left behind—four children, five grandchildren, and the potted meat industry. After war, Ziegler moved back to New Orleans to become a fireman for the next 25 years until he realized running away from burning buildings made more sense. He had no wishes for a burial service but would like everyone to drink a Schaefer Light in his honor, and hey, if he ever owed you a beer, you can buy him another in heaven.
