He ran the business, later turning it over to three of his sons. Because of the company, he and Elaine were able to travel the world with their good friends Bill and Mildred Hooper. He began his hobby of collecting antique cars; at one time, having over thirty cars.

Jeff was also active in the community, serving on the Mesquite school board in the '60's. Jeff and Elaine attended First Presbyterian Church in Mesquite, and are now together with the Lord.
