Robert Lee Fullhart - June 15, 1931 - Sept. 29, 2015

Sadly, we must pass on the news that a long time agent and personal friend, Bob Fullhart, passed away September 29, 2015.   Bob was a very successful independent agent and managed offices in Reedsport, Waldport, Sisters and Tigard.  He was an Oregon State University graduate, an Air Force officer (retiring as Lt Colonel), an avid golfer and pilot all while being extremely active in the community.  He will be missed even as daughter Betsy and son Don continue the business.   
 
As the pool of auto risks transforms and independent agents continue to face serious competition from the direct and captive channels, the pressure's on from every angle to compete for a piece of the insurable pie.

Will we be left behind because we failed to board the train? Insurance Networking News ran this horror story, "The Auto Insurance Experience" by Terry Golesworthy, on one man's attempt to integrate insurance into his online buying. What do you think about this?
