It’s a shame that nobody saw this coming. I kinda thought Jeff might do this rather than face the consequences. But if you knew hom you’d know this was totally in charachter. He was a control freak and never wrong. Maybe the thought of having to go to court and be found guilty was just too much for him. But to think he’d been doin this for like 29 years. Man that is nasty. And looks like he taught a couple family members that it’s ok to steal cause they owe it to you. Not exactly what the rest of us volunteers believe. Well its too late to turn back now, the damage is done. Maybe we’ll all learn from this. Honesty is still the best policy. I hate to think what’s gonna happen to his wife and Cory. He’s only been married a year.
