Pat reflects fondly on thoughts of his father seeing a future in airfreight that at the time no one else saw. All of Jack’s children speak with a pride in their hearts about the dream and determination, not to mention the courage that their father showed in starting this dedicated family business.
Indeed, Central Air Freight is more than a family business; it is the family. “We have all worked in the business for as long as we can remember,” recalls Bob. “I can remember being nine years old and working with my father and brothers.” Danny remembers that his father wanted the business not only for him, but also for his children, and he involved them daily.
