It is with a very sad heart to read about the passing of Jeff Schmitt. It seems like a short time ago he was at the dealership, with a big smile on his face, ensuring that we had everything we needed to make the Fairborn Fourth of July Parade a success as it related to vehicles, drivers, the use of his facility and so much more. Without his assistance, we would not be able to successfully provide the City of Fairborn with a quality demonstration of our heritage and pride relative to our Independence Day.
Sincere regrets and sympathy from the Fairborn Parade Committee may help in knowing that Jeff was loved and respected in the community for who he was and how he willingly work to support the community.
The loss of a husband and a father are very hard to understand. He is loved and will be missed.
