Frederick Jones

Allyson Murray — Thu, 07 Apr 2016 15:14:45 +0000

Frederick Kuper Jones, a Chicago native, relocated to Cleveland in 1957 and graduated from Cathedral Latin School in 1961. He graduated from Xavier University with a degree in History and Philosophy in 1965, and continued on to obtain a Master’s degree in Business Administration from Case Western Reserve Weatherhead School of Business and a Master of Arts degree in Classical and Medieval History from Cleveland State University.

For over 35 years, Fred devoted his business efforts to growing, maintaining, managing, and eventually owning all the equity of Phoenix Dye Works – a top-quality textile company that, at one point, provided jobs for 800 Clevelanders. With the steady erosion and ultimate demise of the textile market in the 1990’s, the board members decided to liquidate the company, and Fred, in turn, decided to embrace a new career in benefits, insurance, and investment services. Fred’s unique experience in purchasing these very same products and services has proven to be a great asset to his insurance career, as his clients regard him as someone who truly has in-depth knowledge and experience.

Fred believes that “to those that are given much; much is required.” He has served on various boards in the community, including St. Vincent’s Quadrangle Board, Cleveland State University Foundation Board, and St. Constantine and Helen Greek Orthodox Church Board. Fred’s positive attitude and sense of humor make him a joy to be around, and we are happy to have him as an independent Insurance Advisor here at Harding & Jacob.

Hoyt Murray, CLU, ChFC

Allyson Murray — Wed, 06 Apr 2016 15:01:48 +0000

Hoyt is the Chairman & CEO of H.C. Murray Group and has been in the insurance industry for over 45 years. He began his career in 1978 at Dickenson, Murray, & Associates, where he was a partner for nineteen years; thereafter, he formed H.C. Murray Corp., which specializes in providing life, disability, and long-term care insurance solutions.

Hoyt acquired Harding & Jacob Insurance in 2012 in order to offer his clients full service in all risk management areas – from property and casualty to life and health. Today, H.C. Murray Corp. and Harding & Jacob Insurance are members of the H.C. Murray Group, and as a result, our clients can have all their insurance needs taken care of under one roof.

Hoyt is a Cleveland native. He attended University School and then went on to graduate from the University of Virginia with a BA in English. Hoyt met his wife, Gail, at UVA, and they have three children together – Scott, Cameron, and Allyson. The Murray kids are all “boomerangs” and have returned to live and work in Cleveland, Ohio. Hoyt and his family are big Cleveland sports fans, as well as supporters of University Hospitals of Cleveland.

Outside of work, Hoyt enjoys playing tennis, golf, and squash. He is also a fan of historical biographies, especially biographies on America’s founding fathers. Hoyt’s favorite quote is one from Calvin Coolidge on the importance of persistence:

“Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not: nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not: the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.”
