My heart is so big for this great man. My respect for good law enforcement officers and military personnel puts me in awe of this man. My love for Mopars brought me here but that was overshadowed by the life of this man. Godfrey is a legend and hero. God Bless this family.

I watched the video about Godfrey. The car was wonderful but nothing compared to the Qualls family. My father was a police officer in the area and I was too. Your "Blue Family" thanks you for your story and your family. May his spirit stay with you in your heart.
