Three generations of service and care
The Graf Insurance Agency was founded in 1924 by Richard A. Graf. Then as now the Agency’s goal was to expertly serve the people and the community. Towards those ends Mr. Graf was an active member in the community having served on the boards of Huntington Hospital and the Huntington Station Bank. He was one of the founders of the Huntington Elks Lodge and served as Justice of the Peace.

Richard worked closely with each client in an effort to procure the broadest, yet most competitive plans required by each person’s needs.
After the outbreak of World War II Richard joined the Navy and participated in the invasion of North Africa. In his absence his wife, Frances, ran the Agency. Frances was an exceptional business woman who found her niche in the insurance industry. Through her talents and dedication the Agency flourished. This was no small accomplishment as the country was emerging from the Great Depression and women in business at that time were not readily accepted.
continued by his son Kenneth, who followed in his mother and father’s foot steps by serving the community as president of the Huntington United Fund, founding the Huntington Insurance Agents Association and serving on the Agency Advisory Committee of Firemans Fund Insurance Company. He was also one of the founders of the Huntington Station Kiwanis Club. By representing a number of insurance companies, and also providing expert, individualized personal service, Kenneth was able to provide the public with competitive rates and policies tailored to their specific needs.
