CORLIS JEFFERSON "JEFF" DRIGGERS (November 29, 1924 - November 11, 2013)
Mr. Driggers (aka "Chico") was one of a kind:
* A southern gentleman who was never stodgy
* A cutting wit who never wounded
* A passionately principled man who never lost his temper
* A serious man who brought good humor to every situation
* A strong leader who encouraged his followers to strike their own paths toward a common goal
* A gifted teacher who taught by example, not by lecturing
* A trusted mentor who was eager to learn from those he guided.
Always kind, ever generous, his was a remarkable life filled with love and laughter, well-spent, and dedicated to the betterment of Jacksonville Public Library and the Jacksonville arts community. He enriched the lives of everone around him. Besides being a great boss, he was a dear friend, and everyone who knew him will miss him. But something of him will always remain with us, too.
