I had the immense privilege to work with Mr. Brent Huber and although it wasn’t for a long time, he was by far the most professional, nicest, caring, and big hearted bosses I’ve had. He shared his knowledge with all those who worked for him in order to assure our future prosperity. May he be R.I.P. My deepest condolences and prayers for Linda, Owen, Kenny, and the rest of the family.
