In remembrance

“Every morning as he went by my door, he said, ‘Can I get you a cup of coffee?’” Carol Jones said. “And the morning that he didn’t come in, I thought, ‘Where’s Jeff?’”

Jones said Mosley was one of the top five producers at her company, and he never had an enemy.

“I never had a customer complaint – ever,” she added. “We’re just stunned. We have lost a great man.”

Before entering real estate, Jeff Mosley owned and operated Dairy Queen restaurants in Marshfield and Springfield. During that time, he trained numerous young people in customer service and the restaurant business. Mosley believed that some of the most important things in customer service were the words “please” and “thank you” and greeting people with a smile – something he practiced himself.

Mosley is survived by his wife, Janet; his daughter, Heather, advertising designer at Springfield Business Journal, and her partner, Dawn; his son, Geoff, and daughter-in-law, Shelley; granddaughters Whitney, Madeline and Isabella; and two sisters and a brother.

Mosley, a graduate of the University of Tennessee and a U.S. Navy Veteran, was remembered in a Dec. 9 memorial service at Gorman-Scharpf Funeral Home and laid to rest in Missouri Veterans Cemetery.
