It is with great sadness that we share the passing of our founder and CEO, Mr. Jerrell Oaks, on November 7th. For more than 55 years, Mr. Oaks dedicated himself to NAFECO, working every day to provide exceptional products and service to our customers. His vision, determination, and leadership shaped not only our company, but also the people who make up the NAFECO family.
