Good samaritan deserves business from everyone

My family and I would like to express our deepest appreciation and gratitude to an "Island Angel" who came to our rescue while we were visiting Anna Maria Island.

We found ourselves stuck on the side of the road when our rental car, with no spare tire, developed a flat tire. Suddenly, out of nowhere, Jeff Petitt appeared, found a screw in our tire, removed it, repaired the hole and re-inflated the tire with his air compressor.

Out of the kindness and goodness of his heart, he spent an hour of his time and got us back on the road so that we could enjoy our day.

Please reward him by using his family businesses: Manatee Real Estate Services and Salon Salon.
