Finding out that Mr. Ben had passed sadden me so much. He was such a wonderful man.  I worked at the dealership from 1985- 1995. I learned so much about life lessons during those years.  Mr. Ben was the genuine article.  His reputation in the community as an honest man was beyond reproach.  
My sincere condolences to the family. My God comfort and guide you in your time of loss. 

My sincere condolences to the Satcher family. Praying for strength and peace for all of you.

Many fond memories of Mr. Ben… My parents, Billy & Marguerite Caughman , owned many vehicles from  the Satchers. I did as well. So did Caughman’s Meat Plant. We weren’t just customers, we were friends. Deepest sympathy to all his family and friends. Ben, Jr… I love you my dear friend. And… GO TIGERS! 

Ben was a good friend to many people especially John Henry Rimer  they shared many years together.  Blessing and prayers for his family. Gladys Rimer

So very sorry to hear of Ben’s passing.  Our families were close when we lived in Johnston, and we spent many happy and fun times with the Satchers.  My condolences to his family.

I was so sorry to hear of Ben's passing.  He was a great guy and a true friend.  We attended Johnston High School together, and I have many  fond memories of him during those younger days.  Know his family is proud of him and his many accomplishments.  We will all miss him dearly.

Ms. Satcher, Ben, Jr., Sissy, and Robert,  You may not remember me but I so enjoyed working for Mr. Ben.     We bought many of our vehicles from Satcher Motors as did my parents.  He was a force and an icon in Lexington.  I will always remember his kindness, generosity, the smell of his pipe, and his cheerful greeting of "Hey Gal!"  He sure did love you all...His face lit up like a Christmas tree when his eyes met yours.  Big hugs and bigger prayers for your comfort.

Ben and family, it’s Kim Stuck Moore. Sending my condolences and prayers for all. A life well lived. May God bless you and the family in the weeks ahead. We have been through it with our daddy a few months ago. Hold on to your good memories! God will see you through! Love to all!

Our condolences to Ben’s family. A most kind and caring man who will be missed in his community. John and Chere Edwards

He was a great boss and became an even better friend! Of all the things he showed me, Grace towards your fellow man was the most important one…… Prayers goin for him, his family and friends during this difficult time….

What a Man, a friend, and mentor. His honesty and ethics were above all. He was a man, when he shook your hand or said yes, you didn’t need anything in writing, what he said, is what he did! He was blessed in so many ways and he blessed others. A very special person and he will be greatly missed. Just a good ole common man! Prayers for all the family! 


There will never be another legend like Mr. Ben.  He was a great friend over the years and I cherish each memory of him.  My fondest memory was the discovery that he made when eating my fried squash at a fish fry on the farm.  I had cut the squash like regular french fries and he ask me how i got them to taste so good. He was thinking that they were french fries.  He and I had a very good laugh off of this light bulb moment.  He will be truly missed and loved always.  

We were saddened to hear of Ben’s passing. We were customers when he owned Satcher Ford. Prayers for the entire Satcher family. Heyward and Brenda Clamp

To the Satcher Family,  Joe and I are so sorry to hear the loss of Ben Sr.  He was an awesome Man, Father, Grandfather and Dear Friend.  

We never saw Ben down, he was always upbeat and down to Earth. 
Ben Sr. sold Joe and I many Ford cars while he was in business and a few times, Ben would send Sim Grady to sign papers at our restaurant, so we could save time when we went to the finance Dept.  It was funny but it got the deal done and we were very happy with our purchases.  The one thing I missed after Ben Satcher Ford closed, was smelling Ben's pipes and different Tabacco's he smoked in his office.  He had the "BEST TABACCO"!!!!  When Ben would come over to our sandwich shop, his favorite item on the menu was our Egg Salad and when he walked in and saw me, Ben would say, there's my Girl!!!  I would hurry and go around to get a big hug from him..  We truly are going to miss this true "Southern Gentleman"!!  Knowing Ben Sr. for 25 Years as a Car Salesman/Owner and later becoming a close Family-friend member is going to be hard not having Ben in our lives.  I Pray, when he gets to Heaven,  they have a big egg salad sandwich waiting on him!!    Love and Prayers to the family,   Joe and Lisa Cribb

A great friend and mentor. Ben was what we all aspire to be at 86. Photo is of him after helping a friend cut a fallen tree out of the lake. He was the friend that was always there for advice and type of man that would roll up his sleeves and help you get just about anything done. He will be missed.

Ben was a dear man and helped me through a difficult time in my life. I will treasure the memories of him and his precious family.

With Ben’s passing I have lost my best friend but he will be long remembered by all who knew him as a principled man of great character who had a most generous and caring soul.  I will reflect on our time together with great fondness and smile on Ben’s ability to share his life’s stories of flying, car dealership and myriad other aspects of his life that reflected his business acumen, honesty and service to others.  Forever devoted to his family and working hard all his life, he has left a lasting legacy that has brought substantial goodness into the world.  I had an angel on my shoulder when I met Ben and will cherish our times together.  May he rest in peace knowing that he is sorely missed and taken from us far too soon.  

I can only remember once or twice when Ben had a "stache".. Our world just dimmed with him leaving this soil. I have so many memories of spending my childhood summers at the dealership growing up and then to move on to work there. Ben had a way of making all the employees his family. But most of all is him nicknaming me "lil George" after my dad that worked with him for over 40 years..  And I am so blessed to have known him and now it means even more that 2 weeks ago I sat and talked to him and he immediately called me "lil George".. Ben Jr,,Sissy and Robert...Yall are in our thoughts and prayers and Ben will be sorely missed.. 

I had the pleasure of working for Ben Sr and Ben Jr from 98-2003. They were awesome employers who paid their employees very well and treated us with respect and dignity. They appreciated our hard work and in addition to being paid well we were treated to a first class meal every week that we met our goal. However, the thing about them that most impressed me was how they treated my family. I was a divorced father of 2 a 10 and 8 year old. When they were in the dealership everything else stopped. He treated all of our children very well. Sadly, I have lost one of mine but I am sure Mr Ben is picking on him now just like he did when he was 10. Prayers for this family! Great people 

When I think of Mr. Satcher, I think of his big smile walking through the dealership sometimes with his sweater on backwards he would say Maggie dress me today lol Maggie was his dog. I worked at Lexington chronicle for many years and Mr. Satcher advertise with me weekly, I could walk by his office and  he would be having a meeting with the  Ford guys he would get up and come to the door and give me a hug and say how are you doing today❤️ he was a precious man I’ll always remember him and love him -gone  to soon🥲 to his family, I am so very sorry . 
Anne Rabon Reynolds 

My love and prayers for the entire Satcher family.  I know how much his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren loved him.

He was a man’s man, tough to work for but a heart of Gold. If you were down on your luck, provided you were trusting and a hard worker he would give you the shirt off his back to help you. I grew as a person and a Manager working for him. We had a great group of employees and he was the leader, great times and memories from my experience working For Ben Sr and Ben Jr. Prayers sent for the family in this time of need, RIP Boss
