The History Of Our Agency


Our agency was established in 1916 by Mr. John M. Glover. In the beginning, it was primarily a real estate operation which supplemented its income through personal lines insurance writing. After the war in the late 40’s, Mr. Glover hired Robert B. Woodcock to run the insurance end of the business. (Bob was previously employed by his father in a NY brokerage outfit). By 1949, Robert Woodcock worked a deal to purchase the entire Glover operation and became the Operating Officer of the partnership which made the purchase.

In 1954, Bob and his silent partner, Frank Brazel, incorporated. Bob ran the business and created the base upon which the current operation was built. By the 1970’s, the agency had grown to 2.5 million and was about 65% commercial.

In 1973, Raymond T. Matthews joined the agency as an underwriter to support the commercial growth. Frank Brazel passed away in the 70’s and Raymond Matthews was made Junior Partner with 49% of the stock.

In the early 80’s, the agency growth flattened out and changes in the business climate forced Mr. Woodcock to consider retirement. On January 1, 1983, Raymond Matthews became the sole owner of the agency.

Raymond Matthews immediately began to modernize the operations and change its basic mutual representation to that of a very diverse insurance writer. The agency volume grew rapidly, along with the number of employees. In July of 1985, Matthews hired John O. Forlivio to understudy him and begin an apprenticeship that would lead to ownership.
