Cherish the Memories always 💜
I will miss dear Paul. The light in this world got a little dimmer with his passing. My sincere condolences to his family.
Thoughts and prayers to the entire family. Paul was a great friend and will be sadly missed. He was always there wanting to share the produce from his garden or just share a funny story. Loved when he would just pop by to say Hi. Heaven has gained a legend. I hope he is up there planning his next garden or turkey hunt! Sincere condolences.
Martha and family, how the years have passed…my thoughts and prayers are with you all. God Bless.
Zelma and family: my deepest sympathy with prayers for the loss of your son Paul.🙏🏻✝️ Howard was waiting for him with open arms when he crossed over into the arms of Our Lord .
One of my best friends ever! He was one of a kind and always had room for anyone that needed help. We did more than worked together, we really loved each other. Will miss you Sig in so many ways. Glad you’re in a better place than I saw you last week. Bless you, Marty, Jared and Andrea. Love ya all!
What a good guy. So sorry to hear this news. Prayers for your family Paul. I’ll always remember working summers with you and Charlie. I hope you are resting in paradise. God Bless.
I worked with Paul at the Juior High. Paul was always there to listen or help where needed and make you laugh. He will be truly missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family.
What a loss to anyone who ever came into contact with Paul. He was an unbelievable man with boundless energy, humor and compassion for life. He has been a part of Brad’s life since they were kids in Funk, and will be truly missed. Our prayers are with you and your family Marty. He was a good one!
So sad to lose a fellow classmate. Prayers for the family asking God to hold you close.
Siggy felt like a family member to us. Never a topic he couldn’t spin into one of his own experiences – and funny tale (the taller the better). The TJH workdays, track practices, meets and invitationals, poker nights, and jr. high get togethers you could always, ALWAYS find a circle of friends around him. We will miss him so much. Marty, Jared & Stacey, Andrea & Aaron, and Zelma, and grandkids2, we are so sorry for your loss.
David, Marianne & Erin
I’m so sorry for your loss. I’m send your family lots of prayers.
You and I had a race every morning to see who would arrive at the junior high first, around 6: 30 am. You usually won and started the coffee pot , thank goodness! You were always on the ball, the hardest worker in the building, and we all appreciated you so much.
You also made the best grilled chicken!
Your talents in gardening (loved those fresh tomatoes!) and many other areas were always done to perfection.
You made my day brighter and that was needed in those teaching days!
Denny and I were so thankful for your friendship. You will be sorely missed.
We hope that you took all the love that we, and so many others, had for you with you when you left.
From now on when we think of you, it will make us smile. Thank you for that gift. 💜💜💜
Martha I am so sorry to hear of your husband passing . My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.🙏🩷
Sorry for your loss Marty. Paul was always asking if I had hear any turkeys calling in the woods across from my house on Jim Chapman. He was ready to go turkey hunting.
I am sorry for your loss. Mr. Sigler was always a warm and welcoming person.
Sorry for your loss Marty
Glad I got to see you guys in Columbus @ OSU
During my years as Triway’s elementary school counselor, I sometimes had occasion to visit Triway Jr. High. Paul Sigler was always a kind & welcoming presence there. Such a sweet man. I pray his loved ones will be blanketed in grace, comfort, & peace. May Jesus hold each precious one close to His heart.
