Emanuel Mountz Zeigler's Obituary
Emanuel Mountz Zeigler, Jr.
On Tuesday, December 22, 2010, Emanuel Mounts Zeigler "Butch" of Rehoboth Beach, DE and Washington, DC passed away after a courageous battle with cancer at the age of 58.
Son of Elva G. and Emanuel Zeigler, Butch was born in Mechanicsburg, PA on April 18, 1951. After attending Shippensburg State and Johns Hopkins, he served as an elementary school teacher for 12 years in Bel Air, MD. In 1985, Butch joined longtime friend, John Heikel, as a co-owner of Capitol Prompting Service, in Cheverly, MD. Butch's tireless work ethic and pleasant people-focused" personality led him to become one of the most sought after prompters in the country as he proved able to put any client at ease, from Heads of State and major corporations.
He is survived by his two sisters Janice Edmonds of Moneta, VA and Trudy Stock of Ocean City, MD, numerous nieces and nephews, five step-brothers William Lamason of Harrisburg, PA., Richard Lamason of Atlanta, GA., Robert, Frederick and Steven Lamason all of Mechanicsburg, PA., and his beloved dog Tina.
With a unique sense of humor, a strong love of life, and a flair for enjoying himself, Butch accumulated many friends, many of whom could seldom resist a smile when in his presence. He will be missed.
Memorial services will be held on Tuesday December 29, 2009 at 11 AM at the All Saints Episcopal Church, 20 Olive Avenue, Rehoboth Beach, DE. Burial will be a later date at Congressional Cemetery, Washington, DC.
