This time its Jeff.
Heart of gold, this guy. Best man at my wedding. He was so afraid of public speaking that when he gave the toast at the reception, there was nothing left in the glass by the time he got finished, his hand was shaking so badly.
He moved to central Missouri a long time ago as the Convention Coordinator at one of the resort hotels. In his spare time, he lived out a childhood dream by volunteering for the Fire Department. After being named volunteer fire-fighter of the year, he gave up his successful career in the hotel industry and took a job full-time as a fire-fighter.
Turns out he was pretty good at that, too. He's now the fire chief for the Osage Beach Fire Department.
He, too, is a die-hard Cardinal fan. The two of us appear weekly on a Sports radio show and argue about baseball. Funny how two guys who love each other as much as we do find so much to disagree about - but it makes for better radio, anyway.
He has a beautiful wife, Diana, and two wonderful children. Jeff, Jr. - a handsome and intelligent and athletic young man; and Erica, a young lady with a smile a mile wide and a happy disposition.
