Jeff Brandt ( Havana / Scores ) passed away on sunday april 26 from medical conplications. Last few years he has been living in Atenas with his wife and coming into town to see friends while they visit. Always with his stories , laughter and shots of fireball. He will be missed. |

RIP Another long time CRT member that will be missed. He was a fair businessman that tried hard to fill a void in the gulch. Unfortunately he had some bad hires that tarnished the image but he took care of business and made things right, to my knowledge he did not run out on his obligations and exited the business with his head held high. I for one enjoyed spending time in his establishment and sharing stories of "The Good Old Days" |

RIP Jeff! A paramedic by trade. Last time I saw him was at his birthday party at SL years ago. Some of the Scores chicas were in atendance and a lot of Fireball was drank. It was always great to see and hang out with him. |

As far as I know, Jeff left without paying his employees and the new owner refused to pay his debts. a bunch of CRT members collected some money and Orange distributed it to those suffering employees. Around the end of 2014 when wages and Christmas bonuses were due, if I remember right. |

Jeff! A paramedic by trade Ok I am confused now, the guy I am thinking of was a contractor and had a douche bag named Sergio running the place who set up a gambling site that was being promoted at part of little havana. I had a decent amount of winings that he tried to screw me out of and whom I thought was Jeff let me drink off what should have been paid in cash. I did not want to cause a problem and would have spent the money there anyway so I was happy to do the trade out over time and that way he did not absorb the whole hit at once. |

He left under other circumstances and Jeff took over operating what was then the Hotel Little Havana (at least the part to the south), somewhere around 2013. It closed in December 2014. The part to the north continued as Zona 2 for some time after. |
