What were your most significant professional accomplishments?
After my dad passed, I took over the business with almost no experience. His crew helped me learn the ropes.
Years later, watching my son come in and take it even further has been one of the most rewarding parts of my career.
How have your family members been involved in the company?
My dad started the company in 1933. I took over in 1961 after working with him. My son helped out through high school and college, then took the lead.
Now, my grandson is in the business too, working over at our other warehouse.
What are your keys to business success?
For me, success comes from staying personal and giving great service. Even at 95, I’m still involved and sometimes visit customers myself.
I’m proud my son has kept those values going — they’re a big reason the business has done so well.
