RIP coachi, we will miss you. I like to remember all the great and kind posts by the Coach. Even though his collection of Ferrraris was an outstanding one, he treated all of us with kindness and respect. Here is an example of one of his posts from over a year ago: (the picture of RareGuitar's 360 with the golf clubs in it is below) Image Unavailable, Please Login
****, that sucks. I always stopped outside his sporting goods store in Clemson to drool over his Daytona and 550. They seemed like UFOs in this small town. Sorry for his family and all appropriate prayers.
Coachi died? Very sad...that completely sucks. Always liked reading his posts, especially when it came to F40s...seemed like he was living life pretty full and happy which so few people get to do. Life is way too short, this should be evidence of that. RIP. RMX
Terrible news---I was just admiring his cars in the Owners section the other day and asked him if he had ever jumped off his terrance into the pool--He has a beautiful home..----RIP
RIP. A true lover of people & Ferrari's. At 67 his life was cut way to short. Thoughts & Prayers to Julie & the rest of their family- Chris & Phyllis Meronek
Although I never met him, I feel like I know him just a little bit after reading all the post's. You just never know what can happen, thoughts and prayers to his family.
This is very sad news, I had spoken to Coachi once or twice on the phone a few years ago, discussing some issues he was trying to diagnose on one of his cars. What a terrific guy, and so passionate about Ferraris! My condolences to his family. Rest in peace Coachi. Sincerely, Dave
