Richard Ziebart has passed away.

Night Fighter Family,

My father, Richard Ziebart (417th NFS),  passed away peacefully on Wednesday afternoon, Jan 10th, and his wife, Lorraine, joined him today.    As sad as their passing is, I am happy that they were able to join each other in the last chapter of their journey.

I’m sure there’s a 417th NFS reunion being planned in heaven as I write this.

Peace.
