This year's Employee of the Year is Bryan Rich, second from right in the back row, from Jeffries Hardware. He was hired 39 years ago by his Uncle Rollin Pyles to help in the office. He has seen many changes to Jeffries Hardware and he has had the pleasure of working alongside several business owners; the Pyles', Leon Lewis, and now Chris Lewis who took over after his father, Leon, retired.
When he is not at work, he enjoys his church activities at Egypt Christian Church and spending time with his family, especially his two grandchildren Dax and Ace, who call him Pop Daddy, Jr! -- From introductions by Ellen Zornes, Executive Director, Chamber of Commerce Comments | Permalink
