Andrew Zahara Obituary

Hey old friend it’s hard to believe it’s been 6 years since you left us We had a lot of fun over the years with me at RC and you as our manufactures rep at 7 UP. Golf outings, lunches and buyer visits. Those trips to Meijer’s in Grand Rapids were the best. Every time I drove down La Grange Rd I would turn my head to say hello! The business has changed a lot you probably wouldn’t like it. I retired this year and moved out East to be near my family.God bless and enjoy the Golf round with Jesus
Your friend forever Dan

Please allow your tender memories of your loved one to be as a soothing blanket over your heart. My heartfelt sympathy to the family. Please consider Jeremiah 29:11, 12. May those words within bring you some consolation and a small measure of peace.

Jill,
my Rock, the best manager ever
May the Lord give you and your family
the best comfort there is knowing that
your Loved One is in the Presence of our Father in Heaven.

Your Sister in Christ

My deepest sympathies to Maggie, his daughter & the rest of the family. Here is some history... I've known Andy for roughly 25 years since my time at RC Cola. He had beverages running through his veins & I remember his planning for the 100th Anniversary of RC Cola...that was so much fun & he was truly responsible for the revival of that brand. Countless times he helped me out personally, like when I couldn't figure out my Excel formulas, or early on just to create a good Power point presentation. We talked often, but did not get together often enough as work kept us busy. I did meet him about 6-8 weeks ago as we both wasted an entire day trying to see the buyer at Treasure Island in Chicago to only find out later that they were closing. It was good to reminisce about the simpler times. We talked often about our families, Maggie & his daughter who he is so proud of. Andy always bragged about the great positions she held & promotions she received, but was very excited to say she was moving closer to him. Well I should have pushed harder for the lunch we were going to have the week before his surgery, but I know there is a reason for everything. He was planning for that lunch with our dear Lord. I am proud to call Andy my friend and a true gentleman to all!

My deepest sympathy. I am sure that this is a difficult time for your family. May 2 Pet 3:13 give all of you comfort.

My deepest sympathies to your family and friends. May God bring comfort to your hearts and strengthen you during this difficult time. (2 Thessalonians 2:16,17). CM

There are no right words..Maggie, you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers..Love Linda & Greg Goddard

Our prayers and intentions for you and your family. May the memories you have shared remain in your heart forever. Maribeth and Mark
