So very sorry to learn of Ron’s passing. Condolences to the family.
Dear Zachey Family and Friends,
So sorry to hear of the passing of Ron. Over the years we had several cars restored at Coach Auto Body. Ron was always very kind to us and provided excellent service. May Jesus, the Good Shepherd, welcome him into His heavenly kingdom.
Prayerfully, Sister Emmanuel / Sacred heart Manor
Dear Ron Zachey, Taylor & Family,
Please accept my condolences. So very sorry for your loss. He was one of the hardest workers and a wonderful gentleman. Rest in Peace with your loving wife and loving grandson in Heaven.
Love,
Denise Vece
Our deepest sympathies for the family, I know Ron is reunited with Jackie, he will always be remembered for being a hard worker, and his meticulous attention to details especially around his yard and the shop. Rest ease now Ron and give a hug to Jackie for me.
I am so incredibly sorry to hear of Big Ron’s passing, please accept my heartfelt sympathies. He will be rememered as a gentle giant, dedicated to his family and business 24/7. I will never forget all he taught me, even when I wasn’t aware of the lessons. Blood makes you a relative, but how you treat others and they treat you, makes you family. There is a big difference between “raw meat” and “rare meat”. Work hard and care for what you have, nothing is free. Respect is earned, be humble. Thank you to the family and employees of Coach for sharing him and Jackie for so many years, and allowing me to carry on so many traditions and lessons with my family. I still have the cleanest car of any woman I know, can drive a “stick” and a tractor and know the difference between a wool and foam pad. He was a man of all men, and his love for his wife and family was heard even in silence. He will be missed, but never forgotten. Rest in Peace and give Jackie a kiss for me. Until we meet again, see you both on the Rte 10 connector like old times.
