I remember Msgr. Walter Ziemba as a great communicator who covered the visit of Pope John Paul II to the metro Detroit area for WDIV-Channel 4. His poems were also graceful notes in his Christmas greetings and another example of his extensive and inspiring talent which included book publication. My condolences are extended to his family and friends as well as those of our entire family. -Michelle Odrobina-Jiompkowski

Our family was blessed to have known Fr Ziemba for many years. He married my husband and I and did our daughters baptism. He will be missed by many people. He was truly a wonderful person and I am thankful I had the chance to know him.

To the family of Fr. Ziemba: I was saddened to learn of Fr. Ziemba's passing. I remember his homilies, especially at the 40 Hours Devotion, at S.S. Peter & Paul Parish in Detroit. May YOUR memories of him bring you much comfort. Christine Cach
