Fr. Zachary Shore

I was at Most Holy Redeemer parish while Fr. Zachary was there. He was a delight in every way. There was an impish quality to the man that was so very refreshing to find in a priest. I was his acolyte in many many masses, and his gentle, forgiving nature made serving with him a joy. I miss him.

He taught me in high school in 1962-3. He helped me to they to be a good person, and I was shocked that I was unable to see him before his death......We spoke by phone about 5 years ago.

A great person and teacher !

Zach was a member of the Sozzi family for over 50 years. He officiated at our familie's babtisms, weddings and funerals. He was a gentle man, with a great sence of humor. We spent many holidays and special occasions with him. He will missed by all of us. I know God has a special place for him in heaven.

Father Zachary was a kind and gentle person, who was welcoming and passionate about the gospel. May he know peace with God and all the saints.

Father Zachary was an inspiration to many. I will never forget this great man who reached out to all. May all who knew him remember him well.

I thank God for having known Fr. "Zac" for the short time he worked with our parish school, Our Lady of the Visitacion. He was very kind and gentle to everyone. We were sad when he had to leave us for medical reasons. He certainly touched many people who will remember him fondly. I will keep him, and you, his family, in my thoughts and prayers. God bless.

Few people pass this way and leave such a fond memory. He was truely a gentleman.

I remember Fr. Shore fondly. He married my wife and I back in 1983 and blessed our house in 1984. I'll always remember him jokingly tapping his dime on the number line at the OLM festival as it was closing down and saying "I want to play more!" He'll be deeply missed.
