Vickie, My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. I enjoyed working with Jeff and he was extremely helpful advising me on how to handle some issues with my sons. He always treated me like a customer would like to be treated. He would even offer for me to stay in your home when i was in Miami. He was a prince of a person and i am a better person for having known him. Please remember all the good times and it will make your days ahead brighter. He loved golf and loved playing with you even though you routinely beat him. I always enjoyed his routine before he would approach the ball. As he golfs in heaven i can see even the Lord getting a little impatient with his approach to addressing the ball. Sincerely, Dan Maddox

Vickie, Lisa & Jeff,
Your husband and father was an inspirational leader and power of example in my life and I will always cherish that period in my life with which we shared. I am saddened by his loss but am very grateful to have had a man of such strong charachter and integrity in my life. Jeff's demonstration of faith in his life gave me the courage to surrender my fears and live a life second to none! My life has been made more rich by having "Yeff" as a part of my experience. I thank God for knowing Jeff and I pray for you all in your time of sorrow.

Jeff,
You have been a good friend for many years. You always took the time that was needed on any matter, even showing some us bad golfers the right way to play in the short grass. You said your score will always be better if you do that. On business, no one was better. You shared your knowledge will all friend or foe. For that you will always be held in the highest reguard.
