During his life he was Vice President of Premium Oil Company, President of Premoco Oil Company, President of PR Transport Company, and Secretary-Treasurer of Leeoco Oil Company. In Oct., 2002, at the age of 95 he retired because of health reasons, however, still maintained his position on the board of directors. He resigned from the board of directors in 2004.
