Arthur J. Glatfelter, founder of the Glatfelter Insurance Group, died Feb. 14 at the age of 88.

Glatfelter founded his York, Pa.-based independent insurance agency in 1951 on three principles: serve as a trusted advisor to clients, make sure clients understand their loss exposure, and provide service beyond expectations.

The insurance group says it is one of the largest privately-owned insurance brokers in the U.S., with more than 500 associates serving 30,000 clients.
