Richard E. Ziegler Jr.

Richard was born on November 20th, 1950 in Norfolk, Virginia to Richard and Margaret Ziegler. The family moved to Orlando Florida when his father retired from the US Navy. He attended the University of Central Florida and enlisted in the US Army Reserves. After serving during the Vietnam War he moved to Venice Florida where he met the love of his life, Marcia (Lehan) and they married in 1980.

Richard dedicated his life to the Lord on the Walk to Emmaus in 2004. He was a member of the Englewood United Methodist Church where he counted it a privilege to serve in the Emmaus Community and Kairos Prison Ministries and dearly loved The Lord.

He had a long successful career in the Electrical Wholesale field and was privileged to have made many lifelong friends as a result. Richard loved fishing and golfing and shared that love with his children. His wife Marcia always said he was the only one she knew that always had a fishing pole in his truck just in-case there was a bass walking down 41!

His memory will be cherished and kept alive by his loving wife Marcia; children Alicia, Honey Marie, Catherine (Bix), Ricky (Ashley), Riley, seven adored grandchildren and his beloved sister, Donna, brother in law, Bob, whom he loved like a brother and several nieces and nephews.

Celebration of Life will be held at Englewood United Methodist Church on September 16th at 3pm.
