Jarvis, Founder
Casey Jarvis, founder of JARCO, began his business career in the propane industry in 1947 as a salesman for a Los Angeles tank company. In 1959, he set out to start his own company providing custom delivery trucks to the propane industry. Launching the company in Southern California, he went on to introduce the single barrel propane transport throughout the United States.
During his career, Casey was a member of the NPGA Technical
and Standards Committee for 12 years, and represented the
NPGA in meetings with the Department of Transportation in
Washington D.C. He also served on the NPGA Board of Directors
for six years and served as Chairman of the Western PGA in
the 70's. At the age of 80, in 2005, he retired to enjoy
life at home and frequent cruising with his wife Helen.
For his long and dedicated service to the industry, Casey was presented the Distinguished Service Award by the Western Propane Gas Association in 2007.
