KANSAS CITY, KS – February 15, 2018 – The gravel laden voice delivering words of encouragement to everyone in its path. The pacing back and forth working a cell phone and cigarette just outside a side door. The formal attire of blue jeans and cowboy boots. The colorful metaphors. The generosity. The belief that anything was possible and that no opportunity was out of reach. The absolute honest response when asked his opinion. The ordering of every appetizer on a menu to be sure of the guest’s enjoyment. The brief emails in ALL CAPS. The enormous scope of awareness regarding virtually any topic. The willingness to travel hundreds of miles out of the way to make sure a customer received product needed for a holiday job. The genuine concern not only for acquaintances but for their friends and families. The ever-present offer of help with tasks simple or complex.
These are only a few of the human characteristics we will miss with the passing of Jeff. The VersaFlex family owes its existence to the unyielding force that Mr. Downing brought to the offering of products and service to customers worldwide.
Rest in peace Jeffrey.
