The James and John Turco Insurance agency was founded in 1952 by James Turco. This year, 2002 marked our fiftieth year in business. Jim Turco began the business from the ground level, starting with one customer and building a strong clientele.

Born and raised in Walpole, Jim's goal was to offer his customers the security of insurance backed by a hard working and honest broker, someone who would always go the extra mile for his clients.

The business was started as, and remains a family operation. In the beginning, Jim's mother helped out by answering phones. In 1955 John Turco and Mildred Mastropieri, Jims brother and sister, joined to help him serve the people. John passed away of Hodgkin's disease in 1960 at the age of 30. Three of Jim's daughters, Mary, Tina, and Katie, joined the agency during the 80's, assisting him in serving the community.

Jim passed away in February, 2000. Today, Jim's daughters Mary King, Tina Seaman and Katie Abate own and operate the agency. Judi McClean, Marilyn Sarnie and Maureen Lamperti have been a part of the office staff for numerous years. Marilyn Sarnie retired this past year. Also during this past year we added the newest addition to our staff, Dalilia Byrnes.

Now fifty years later, the Turco Agency continues to operate on its original motto:

"Born in the Community to Serve the Community"

We strive to offer our customers the very best. As insurance brokers, we work hard for our customers.

All of us at the agency would like to say thank you for 50 wonderful years in business. We appreciate your patronage and hope we can continue to serve you.
