A Little Bit About Us
The Rolf Meyer Agency was founded in 1919 upon Rolf’s return from the army after World War I. At the age of 27 he married Lorene Littel and started the insurance agency. The business was located at their home at 208 Phillips Blvd. In June of 1955 Paul Meyer, the youngest of Rolf and Lorene’s sons returned from the army and joined Rolf in the agency. In November of 1955 Rolf died from a heart attack unrepentantly. Paul along with his wife, Barbara, then purchased the business from Lorene in 1956 and relocated the agency to their home at 503 Phillips Blvd. In 1980 the office was relocated to its current address at 511 Phillips Blvd. After traveling the world, in 1994 their daughter, Lise Meyer Kobussen, joined the agency and began managing the agency in 1999 when both Paul and Barbara Meyer retired. In October of 2004, Lise along with her husband Dan purchased the agency from Paul and Barbara continuing the business into the third generation. Today, Lise continues to own and operate the business which will be celebrating our 105th year anniversary later this fall.
