Zimmerman operated EZ Sports out of the same storefront for 25 years; for 10 years prior to that he ran the business out of his home.

Zimmerman lived in Chappaqua for roughly 50 years before moving to Somers. Over the years he has become a fixture in the community, which included coaching youth teams in football, lacrosse and baseball. He has also served as an early coach to years of future Horace Greeley High School athletes and offered an array of Greeley-themed athletic apparel.

“People are sad to see me go,” Zimmerman said.
