I've only known Jeff for a few years through the Professional Licensing Board and I am thankful for that time as he shared his experience and knowledge. Thank you for the "lessons" Jeff that helped me to become a better representative of the Board. My deepest condolences and prayers for your family.

I am glad that I got to talk with Jeff last week. I always admired Jeff's straight forward way of speaking and handling business. I was honored to have known him and worked with him for many years on the State Licensing Board (He served on the Used Car Division and I on the Used Parts Division) as well as the Georgia Automotive Recyclers Association where Jeff served many years on their board and as President also. I will always remember the many good laughs that we shared. To Patricia, Jeffery and Nikki, please accept Brenda and my most sincere condolences. May the love of many friends and our Heavenly Father comfort you during this time of sorrow.
